tumhaare baad ye gham bhi uThaanaa paDtaa hai — Aadil Rahi

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

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

sab ko dil kaa raaz bataanaa Thiik nahin
duniyaa-daari duniyaa-daari hoti hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

sadaaon ke jangal mein vo khaamushi hai
ki main ne har aavaaz teri suni hai

tum itnaa jo muskuraa rahe ho
kyaa gham hai jis ko chhupaa rahe ho

aansu hain aur na aah-o-zaari hai
ik ajab dil ko be-qaraari hai
