miri tanhaai kaa aalam na puchho — Anjum Siddiqui

dimaagh un ke tajassus mein jism ghar mein rahaa
main apne ghar hi mein rahte hue safar mein rahaa

fasl-e-gul aa gai hai ahl-e-junun
phir garebaan ko taar taar karein

ik tabassum hazaar-haa aansu
ibtidaa vo thi intihaa hai ye

aarzu ki ye sazaa hai ki zamaana hai khilaaf
un se milne ki khudaa jaane sazaa kyaa hogi

hijr ki lazzaton kaa kyaa kahnaa
vo na aaein miri duaa hai ye

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

koi din aur gham-e-hijr mein shaadaan ho lein
abhi kuchh din mein samajh jaaeinge duniyaa kyaa hai

bas ek apne hi qadmon ki chaap suntaa huun
main kaun huun ki bhare shahr mein bhi tanhaa huun
