vo mire saath hai saae ki tarah — Mahmood Ayaz

tu ru-ba-ru ho to ai ru-e-yaar tujh se kahein
vo harf-e-gham ki harif-e-gham-e-zamaanaa hai

vo nahin hai na sahi tark-e-tamannaa na karo
dil akelaa hai ise aur akelaa na karo

lafz o manzar mein maaani ko TaTolaa na karo
hosh vaale ho to har baat ko samjhaa na karo

chaand khaamosh jaa rahaa thaa kahin
ham ne bhi us se koi baat na ki

sham-e-shab-taab ek raat jali
jalne vaale tamaam umr jale

jiine vaalon se kaho koi tamannaa DhunDein
ham to aasuda-e-manzil hain hamaaraa kyaa hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai
