mujh se khaali hai meraa aaina — Anjum Saleemi

dard se bhartaa rahaa zaat ke khaali-pan ko
thoDaa thoDaa yunhi bharpur kiyaa main ne mujhe

kaisi hoti hain udaasi ki jaDein
aa dikhaaun tujhe dil ke reshe

kisi tarah se nazar mutmain nahin hoti
har ek shai ko dobaara badal ke dekhtaa huun

Thiik se yaad bhi nahin ab to
ishq ne mujh mein kab qayaam kiyaa

barham hain mujh pe is liye donon taraf ke log
divaar uTh gai thi to dar kyuun banaayaa hai

patthar mein kaun jonk lagaaegaa mere dost
dil hai to mubtalaa bhi kahin honaa chaahiye

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

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

vahi akelaa hai anjuman mein
vahi hai tanhaa makaan mein bhi

kis se ummid karein koi ilaaj-e-dil ki
chaaraagar bhi to bahut dard kaa maaraa niklaa

mujhi se aai thi milne udaas chaandni raat
agar ye jaantaa hotaa to jaagtaa bhi main
