shaam jaldi se guzar jaaegi to ham — Ajay Negi

dekhne haalat miri sab aae hain
ek bas us sang-dil ko chhoD kar

zindagi achchhi bahut hai
aaj phir se jhuuT bolaa

chashm-o-lab-o-rukhsaar par bose diye
ham ne zaraa si der mein kyaa kyaa kiyaa

aasmaan kaa ham khasaaraa kaise karte
us sitaare ko sharaara kaise karte

log koi aur hi matlab nikaalein dosti kaa
aap pahlu se mire thoDaa saa haT ke baiThaa kiije

chaae piite aur baatein karte lekin
tum yahaan aae ho ghussa saath le kar

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki
