ham ne saaraa jivan baanTi pyaar ki daulat logon mein — Aziz Bano Darab Wafa

ahmiyat kaa mujhe apni bhi to andaaza hai
tum gae vaqt ki maanind ganvaa do mujh ko

main ne ye soch ke boe nahin khvaabon ke darakht
kaun jangal mein uge peD ko paani degaa

ek muddat se khayaalon mein basaa hai jo shakhs
ghaur karte hain to us kaa koi chehra bhi nahin

ham aise surmaa hain laD ke jab haalaat se palTe
to baDh ke zindagi ne pesh kiin baisaakhiyaan ham ko

main jab bhi us ki udaasi se uub jaaungi
to yuun hansegaa ki mujh ko udaas kar degaa

aaj kam-az-kam khvaabon hi mein mil ke pi lete hain, kal
shaayad khvaabon mein bhi khaali paimaane Takraaein log

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

rafta rafta meri al-gharzi asar karti rahi
meri be-parvaaiyon par us ko pyaar aataa gayaa
