ujlat mein vo dekho kyaa kyaa chhoD gayaa — Aisha Ayub

tumhaari khush-nasibi hai ki tum samjhe nahin ab tak
akele-pan mein aur tanhaai mein jo farq hotaa hai

kuchh umr apni zaat kaa dukh jhelte rahe
kuchh umr kaaenaat kaa dukh jhelnaa paDaa

ek laDki chuDiyaan khankaa rahi thi aur tabhi
us khanak se uTh rahaa thaa jaise zindaani kaa shor

kisi se bhi mukhaatib hon koi bhi baat hoti ho
tumhaaraa naam lene kaa bahaana DhunD lete hain

us se koi gila bhi karein ham to kyaa karein
vaa'da koi kiyaa hi nahin us ne aaj tak

itnaa masruf kar liyaa khud ko
gham bhi aa kar khushi se lauT gae
