rang chehre kaa zaafraani hai — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa

kyaa kahaa ishq jaavedaani hai!
aakhiri baar mil rahi ho kyaa

dil kaun hai ki us se kahein raaz-e-ishq ham
tere khayaal se bhi na ham guftugu karein
