ghamon ko bech rahaa huun main is liye shaayad — Amaan Ali Khan

khush-nasibi hai tumhaari sar pe hai jo maan kaa haath
ham yatimon ko pata hai ye du'aa kyaa chiiz hai

shab-e-gham ki yuun bhi main kartaa huun 'izzat
ye shab 'umr mein mujh se kaafi baDi hai

kuchh der to Dare tiri jaadugari se ham
phir dekhne lage tujhe sanjidgi se ham

us ne rakkhaa thaa haath saahil par
tab se dariyaa mein bhi sharaare hain

main ne dafnaae vaaldain apne
mujh se puchho ki hausla kyaa hai

saath jab chhoD gae meraa tum ai kuza-gar
khud ko majburi mein phir khud hi taraashaa main ne

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

jab yaad mein taDpein to mohabbat ko baDhaa dein
khud dard-e-mohabbat ki masihaai mohabbat

kaun suntaa hai bhikaari ki sadaaein is liye
kuchh zarifaana latife yaad kar lete hain ham

in aansuon se bhalaa meraa kyaa bhalaa hogaa
vo mere baa'd jo royaa bhi yaad kar ke mujhe
