chhuT jaae agar daaman-e-kaunain to kyaa gham — Asghar Gondvi

sau baar tiraa daaman haathon mein mire aayaa
jab aankh khuli dekhaa apnaa hi garebaan thaa

kyaa mastiyaan chaman mein hain josh-e-bahaar se
har shaakh-e-gul hai haath mein saaghar liye hue

chalaa jaataa huun hanstaa kheltaa mauj-e-havaadis se
agar aasaaniyaan hon zindagi dushvaar ho jaae

zaahid ne miraa haasil-e-imaan nahin dekhaa
rukh par tiri zulfon ko pareshaan nahin dekhaa

yuun muskuraae jaan si kaliyon mein paD gai
yuun lab-kushaa hue ki gulistaan banaa diyaa

pahli nazar bhi aap ki uff kis balaa ki thi
ham aaj tak vo choT hain dil par liye hue

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

us kaa kyaa hai tum na sahi to chaahne vaale aur bahut
tark-e-mohabbat karne vaalo tum tanhaa rah jaaoge

na to ranj-o-gham se hi rabt hai na hi aashnaa-e-khushi huun main
miri zindagi bhi ajiib hai ise manzilon kaa pataa nahin

shaam paDte hi kisi shakhs ki yaad
kucha-e-jaan mein sadaa karti hai
