sadiyon se mire paanv tale jannat-e-insaan — Ada Jafarey

bas ek baar manaayaa thaa jashn-e-mahrumi
phir us ke baad koi ibtilaa nahin aai

jis ki jaanib 'adaa' nazar na uThi
haal us kaa bhi mere haal saa thaa

hazaar kos nigaahon se dil ki manzil tak
koi qarib se dekhe to ham ko pahchaane

dil ke viraane mein ghume to bhaTak jaaoge
raunaq-e-kucha-o-baazaar se aage na baDho

kuchh itni raushni mein the chehron ke aaine
dil us ko DhunDhtaa thaa jise jaantaa na thaa

varna insaan mar gayaa hotaa
koi be-naam justuju hai abhi

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

aablon kaa shikva kyaa Thokaron kaa gham kaisaa
aadmi mohabbat mein sab ko bhuul jaataa hai

miri zindagi kaa haasil tire gham ki paasdaari
tire gham ki aabru hai mujhe har khushi se pyaari

hamein aakhirat mein 'aamir' vahi umr kaam aai
jise kah rahi thi duniyaa gham-e-ishq mein ganvaa di
