bachhDaa huaa jaise koi milte hi lipaT jaae — Amjad Najmi

zulf-e-mushkin thi mehrbaan kis ki
bu basi hai dimaagh mein ab tak

vafaa ki aaD mein kyaa kyaa hui jafaa ham par
jo dosti yahi Thahri to dushmani kyaa hai

kis ghalat-fahmi mein apni umr saari kaT gai
ik vafaa-naa-aashnaa ko baa-vafaa samjhaa thaa main

jab dil hi nahin hai pahlu mein phir ishq kaa saudaa kaun kare
ab un se mohabbat kaun kare ab un ki tamannaa kaun kare

na duniyaa baais-e-ghaflat na uqbaa vajh-e-hushyaari
rahe jo tujh se ghaafil ham use ghaafil samajhte hain

isi kaa naam shaayad zindagi hai
khushi ki ik ghaDi to ik ghami ki
