tum chaandni ho phuul ho naghma ho sher ho — Andaleeb Shadani

uff vo tufaan-e-shabaab aah vo siina teraa
jise har saans mein dab dab ke ubhartaa dekhaa

jigar mein Tiis lab hansne pe majbur
kuchh aisi hi hamaari zindagi hai

der lagi aane mein tum ko shukr hai phir bhi aae to
aas ne dil kaa saath na chhoDaa vaise ham ghabraae to

dil par choT paDi hai tab to aah labon tak aai hai
yuun hi chhan se bol uThnaa to shishe kaa dastur nahin

jhuuT hai sab taarikh hamesha apne ko dohraati hai
achchhaa meraa khvaab-e-javaani thoDaa saa dohraae to

chaahat ke badle mein ham bech dein apni marzi tak
koi mile to dil kaa gaahak koi hamein apnaae to

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

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

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
