is tarah sataayaa hai pareshaan kiyaa hai — Afzaal Firdaus

jis ko meri haalat kaa ehsaas nahin
us ko dil kaa haal sunaa kar ronaa kyaa

kisi ne mujh se kah diyaa thaa zindagi pe ghaur kar
main shaakh par khilaa huaa gulaab dekhtaa rahaa

mushkil thaa bahut mere liye tark-e-taalluq
ye kaam bhi tum ne miraa aasaan kiyaa hai

divaaron mein dar hotaa to achchhaa thaa
apnaa koi ghar hotaa to achchhaa thaa

ai mere musavvir nahin ye main to nahin huun
ye tu ne banaa Daali hai tasvir koi aur

rang aa jaate muTThi mein jugnu ban kar
khushbu kaa paikar hotaa to achchhaa thaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ai dil-e-zaar maza dekh liyaa ulfat kaa
ham na kahte the ki is kaam mein zillat hogi

ki tark-e-mohabbat to liyaa dard-e-jigar mol
parhez se dil aur bhi bimaar paDaa hai

apni kahein ki is dil-e-khaana-kharaab ki
tum ko jo ho pasand vahi guftugu karein
