tum apni tabaahi kaa maatam to kar lo — Aadil Rahi

tishnagi aa tujhe dariyaa ke havaale kar duun
tujh ko is haal mein pyaasaa nahin dekhaa jaataa

tumhaare baad ye gham bhi uThaanaa paDtaa hai
khushi mile na mile muskuraanaa paDtaa hai

tum miraa naam-o-nasab puchh rahe ho sab se
ishq ho jaae to shajara nahin dekhaa jaataa

umr-bhar un se ta'alluq nahin TuuTaa kartaa
aise kuchh log hain jo dil mein utar jaate hain

unhein yaqin ki koi ranj-o-gham nahin mujh ko
mujhe bharam ki miraa masala samajhte hain

bas ik yahi to kharaabi hai us ki fitrat mein
vo mujh ko yaad to kartaa hai par zarurat mein

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
