ai khalish bol kyaa yahi hai khudaa — Meer Ahmad Naved

zakhm-e-talaash mein hai nihaan marham-e-dalil
tu apnaa dil na haar mohabbat bahaal rakh

mumkin nahin hai shaayad donon kaa saath rahnaa
teri khabar jab aai apni khabar gai hai

charaagh-haa-e-takalluf bujhaa diye gae hain
uThaao jaam ki parde uThaa diye gae hain

khud se guzre to qayaamat se guzar jaaeinge ham
yaani har haal ki haalat se guzar jaaeinge ham

pesh-e-zamin rahun ki pas-e-aasmaan rahun
rahtaa huun apne saath main chaahe jahaan rahun

kuchh is tarah se kahaa mujh se baiThne ke liye
ki jaise bazm se us ne uThaa diyaa hai mujhe

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

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

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