kaun detaa hai sadaaein mujh ko — Amber Shameem

khvaab aansu ehtajaaji zindagi
puchhiye mat shahr-e-kalkatta hai kyaa

dhuup kaafi duur tak thi raah mein
lamha lamha ho gayaa paikar siyaah

saaebaan kyaa abr kaa TukDaa hai kyaa
dhuup to maalum hai saayaa hai kyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

tujh ko paa kar bhi na kam ho saki be-taabi-e-dil
itnaa aasaan tire ishq kaa gham thaa hi nahin

ishq abhi se tanhaa tanhaa
hijr ki bhi aai nahin naubat

ham to kuchh der hans bhi lete hain
dil hamesha udaas rahtaa hai
