chingaariyaan na Daal mire dil ke ghaao mein — Saif Zulfi

kaaghaz pe ugal rahaa hai nafrat
kam-zarf adiib ho gayaa hai

ehsaas mein shadid talaatum ke baavajud
chup huun mujhe sukun mayassar ho jis tarah

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

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

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

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
