paanv mein lipTi hui hai sab ke zanjir-e-anaa — Tauseef Tabassum

kyaa ye sach hai ki khizaan mein bhi chaman khilte hain
mere daaman mein lahu hai to mahaktaa kyaa hai

dil bayaaz-e-umr ki auraaq-gardaani mein hai
kyaa khabar hai kaun saa safha khulaa rah jaaegaa

kaun se dukh ko palle baandhein kis gham ko tahrir karein
yaan to dard sivaa hotaa hai aur bhi arz-e-haal ke baad

jo bhi narmi hai khayaalon mein na hone se hai
khvaab aankhon se nikal jaaein to patthar ho jaaein

dukh jhelo to ji kaDaa hi rakhnaa
dil hai to hisaab-e-dostaan hai

achchhaa hai ki sirf ishq kiije
ye umr to yuun bhi raaegaan hai

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae
