zaraa si baat nahin hai kisi kaa ho jaanaa — 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

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein
