hamin hain soz hamin saaz hain hamin naghma — Moin Ahsan Jazbi

tu aur gham-e-ulfat 'jazbi' mujh ko to yaqin aae na kabhi
jis qalb pe TuuTe hon patthar us qalb mein nashtar TuuT gae

na aae maut khudaayaa tabaah-haali mein
ye naam hogaa gham-e-rozgaar sah na sakaa

muskuraa kar Daal di rukh par naqaab
mil gayaa jo kuchh ki milnaa thaa javaab

jab tujh ko tamannaa meri thi tab mujh ko tamannaa teri thi
ab tujh ko tamannaa ghair ki hai to teri tamannaa kaun kare

jab kabhi kisi gul par ik zaraa nikhaar aayaa
kam-nigaah ye samjhe mausam-e-bahaar aayaa

us ne is tarah mohabbat ki nigaahein Daalin
ham se duniyaa kaa koi raaz chhupaayaa na gayaa

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

dasht ki naa-tamaam raahon par
koi saathi hai to shajar tanhaa

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
