alag baat hai ye ki tum sun na paae — Priyamvada Ilhan

idhar aate un ke qadam dekhte hain
sitam hai ki hai ye karam dekhte hain

bahut milne se aib dikhte hain kam-kam
bahut dekhte hain jo kam dekhte hain

ham sahraa vaale hain badraa ye prem ki rim-jhim aur kahin
aanaa hai yahaan to aaiyo tu jam kar jham-jham karne ke liye

kiije izhaar-e-mohabbat chaahe jo anjaam ho
zindagi mein zindagi jaisaa koi to kaam ho

jo kahkashaan si nazar aati hain miri aankhein
guzishta shab ke ye aansu hain jo sitaare hue

dil ko honaa hai fanaa rahnaa hai qaaem aql ko
hasti-e-aadam kahaan jaae ye fitrat chhoD kar

judaaiyaan to muqaddar hain phir bhi jaan-e-safar
kuchh aur duur zaraa saath chal ke dekhte hain

daaman pe loTne lage gir gir ke tifl-e-ashk
roe firaaq mein to dil apnaa bahal gayaa

maut aa jaae vabaa mein ye alag baat magar
ham tire hijr mein naagha to nahin kar sakte

is dard-e-judaai se kahin jaan nikal jaae
'aazurdaa' mire haq mein zaraa yuun bhi duaa kar

Tuk khabar le ki har ghaDi ham ko
ab judaai bahut sataati hai

duriyaan simaTne mein der kuchh to lagti hai
ranjishon ke miTne mein der kuchh to lagti hai
