nai bahaar kaa muzhda bajaa sahi lekin — Shafqat Kazmi

kabhi to un ko hamaaraa khayaal aaegaa
ham is umiid pe tark-e-vafaa nahin karte

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

khvaab jitne dekhne hain aaj saare dekh lein
kyaa bharosa kal kahaan paagal havaa le jaaegi

ye kah ke us ne gul kiyaa sham-e-mazaar ko
jab so gae to kyaa hai zarurat charaagh ki
