'ajmal'-siraaj ham use bhuul hue to hain — Ajmal Siraj

ye bhi tai hai ki jo boeinge vo kaaTeinge yahaan
aur ye bhi ki jo khoeinge vahi paaeinge

bas ek shaam kaa har shaam intizaar rahaa
magar vo shaam kisi shaam bhi nahin aai

ab aap khud hi bataaein ye zindagi kyaa hai
karam bhi us ne kiye hain magar sitam jaise

kyaa kahegaa kabhi milne bhi agar aaegaa vo
ab vafaadaari ki qasmein to nahin khaaegaa vo

ye jo ham khoe khoe rahte hain
is mein kuchh dakhl hai tumhaaraa bhi

main ne ai dil tujhe siine se lagaayaa huaa hai
aur tu hai ki miri jaan ko aayaa huaa hai

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

koi viraani si viraani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayaa

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

ek parchhaain tasavvur ki mire saath rahe
main tujhe bhulun magar yaad mujhe tu aae

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai
