uDaa gae hain bahut dhuul jaane vaale log — Anis Dehlavi

chhin liin khushiyaan miri aankhon se meri niind bhi
zindagi tu ne mujhe ab tak diyaa kuchh bhi nahin

karnaa hai aap ko jo nae raaston ki khoj
sab jis taraf na jaaein udhar jaanaa chaahiye

aap kaa koi safar be-samt be-manzil na ho
zindagi aisi na jiinaa jis kaa mustaqbil na ho

aap ki baaton mein aa kar kho diyaa dil kaa sukun
zindagi mein dekhiye meri bachaa kuchh bhi nahin

jo dil baandhe vo jaadu jaantaa hai
miraa mahbub urdu jaantaa hai

us bevafaa pe marne ko aamaada dil nahin
lekin vafaa ki zid hai ki mar jaanaa chaahiye

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

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

ab to is raah se vo shakhs guzartaa bhi nahin
ab kis ummid pe darvaaze se jhaanke koi

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa
