dosti bandagi vafaa-o-khulus — Anjum Ludhianvi

khushbuein phuuT ke roi hongi
gul havaaon mein jo bikhraa hogaa

dhuup nikli hai baarishon ke baad
vo abhi ro ke muskuraae hain

niind kyuun TuuT gai aakhir-e-shab
kaun mere liye taDpaa hogaa

khud-kushi karne mein bhi naakaam rah jaate hain ham
kaun amrit ghol detaa hai hamaare zahr mein

rang hi se fareb khaate rahein
khushbuein aazmaanaa bhuul gae

subh kaa khvaab umr bhar dekhaa
aur phir niind aa gai 'anjum'

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki
