rang hi se fareb khaate rahein — 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

dosti bandagi vafaa-o-khulus
ham ye shama jalaanaa bhuul gae

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

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

vafaa par naaz ham ko un ko apni bevafaai par
koi munh aaine mein dekhtaa hai koi paani mein

duniyaa ne teri yaad se begaana kar diyaa
tujh se bhi dil-fareb hain gham rozgaar ke

qaasid ye zabaan us ki bayaan us kaa nahin hai
dhokaa hai tujhe us ne kahaa aur hi kuchh hai

kahnaa hi miraa kyaa hai ki main kuchh nahin kahtaa
ye bhi tumhein dhokaa hai ki main kuchh nahin kahtaa

dhokaa thaa jis pe mauj-e-nasim-e-bahaar kaa
ik sail-e-be-panaah thaa barq-o-sharaar kaa

vaise kyaa ghaTiyaa si shai hai ye tamannaa kaa fareb
aap jaison ko bhi ham jaise taras jaate hain
