tu aur gham-e-ulfat 'jazbi' mujh ko to yaqin aae na kabhi — Moin Ahsan Jazbi

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

mile mujh ko gham se fursat to sunaaun vo fasaana
ki Tapak paDe nazar se mai-e-ishrat-e-shabaana

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

dil-e-aafat-zada kaa muddaaa kyaa
shikasta saaz kyaa us ki sadaa kyaa

be-sadaa si kisi aavaaz ke pichhe pichhe
chalte chalte main bahut duur nikal jaataa huun

khvaab aur tamannaa kaa kyaa hisaab rakhnaa hai
khvaahishein hain sadiyon ki umr to zaraa si hai
