lo hamaaraa javaab le jaao — Aleena Itrat

dil ke gulshan mein tire pyaar ki khushbu paa kar
rang rukhsaar pe phulon se khilaa karte hain

husn-o-jamaal-o-zist ki aaraaishein fuzul
ishq-o-junun ki aag jo dil mein javaan na ho

Thiik hai jaao ta'alluq na rakheinge ham bhi
tum bhi vaada karo ab yaad nahin aaoge

jin ke mazbut iraade bane pahchaan un ki
manzilein aap hi ho jaati hain aasaan un ki

ham havaa se bachaa rahe the jinhein
un charaaghon se jal gae shaayad

khvaahishein khvaab dikhaati hain tire milne kaa
khvaab se kah de ki taabir ki surat aae

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
