gham sabhi dil se rukhsat hue — 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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ek do roz kaa sadma ho to ro lein 'faakir'
ham ko har roz ke sadmaat ne rone na diyaa

tum bhi aakhir ho mard kyaa jaano
ek aurat kaa dard kyaa jaano

aadmi huun vasf-e-paighambar na maang
mujh se mere dost meraa sar na maang
