udaasi khinch laai hai yahaan tak — 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

ham ne tumhaare gham ko haqiqat banaa diyaa
tum ne hamaare gham ke fasaane banaae hain

gham-e-dil ab kisi ke bas kaa nahin
kyaa davaa kyaa duaa kare koi

aadmi kaa aadmi har haal mein hamdard ho
ik tavajjoh chaahiye insaan ko insaan ki taraf
