be-sadaa kyuun guzarte ho aavaaz do — Yusuf Taqi

aao puraani yaad ke shoalon mein taap lein
kitne hain haath sard mulaaqaat ki tarah

ai paDosi tu bataa ham ko to kuchh hosh nahin
thaa hamaaraa bhi koi ghar tire ghar se pahle

dekhaa to zindagi mein bahut kaamyaab the
sochaa to jiit aai nazar maat ki tarah

shab palang par haanpte saae rahe
khvaab darvaaze khaDaa taktaa rahaa

khaansti maddham si ik aavaaz jab se kho gai
ghairiyat ki bu se mahkaa mujh ko apnaa ghar milaa

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

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

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

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

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