kyaa kahegaa kabhi milne bhi agar aaegaa vo — 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

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

gham sabhi dil se rukhsat hue
dard be-intihaa rah gayaa

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

hain yaadgaar-e-aalam-e-faani ye donon chiiz
us ki jafaa aur apni vafaa likh rakheinge ham

jafaa se unhon ne diyaa dil pe daagh
mukammal vafaa ki sanad ho gai

tiri vafaa mein mili aarzu-e-maut mujhe
jo maut mil gai hoti to koi baat bhi thi

aa umr-e-rafta hashr ke dam-kham bhi dekh lein
tufaan-e-zindagi ki vo halchal uThaa to laa

'ehsaan' aisaa talkh javaab-e-vafaa milaa
ham is ke baa'd phir koi armaan na kar sake

dil ki dharti par vafaa kaa moajiza rakkhaa gayaa
phir dilon ke darmiyaan kyuun faasla rakkhaa gayaa
