nashsha-e-yaar kaa nasha mat puchh — Razi Raziuddin

tamaam raat tiraa intizaar hotaa rahaa
ye ek kaam yahi kaarobaar hotaa rahaa

dil ko jalaae rakkhaa hai ham ne charaagh saa
is ghar mein ham hain aur tiraa intizaar hai

tum na the to yahaan pe koi na thaa
aaj kitne divaane baiThe hain

qalb-o-jigar ke daagh farozaan kiye hue
hain ham bhi ehtimaam-e-bahaaraan kiye hue

us kaa jalva dikhaai detaa hai
saare chehron pe sab kitaabon mein

tumhaare shahr mein kyuun aaj hu kaa aalam hai
sabaa idhar se guzar kar udhar gai ki nahin

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

raaz-e-nihaan zabaan-e-aghyaar tak na pahunchaa
kyaa ek bhi hamaaraa khat yaar tak na pahunchaa

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe
