ye khazaane kaa koi saanp banaa hotaa hai — Azlan Shah

haare hue logon ki kahaani ki tarah hain
ham log bhi bahte hue paani ki tarah hain

kamaan na tiir na talvaar apni hoti hai
magar ye duniyaa ki har baar apni hoti hai

na haath suukh ke jhaDte hain jism se apne
na shaakh koi samar-baar apni hoti hai

tavil umr ki Dheron duaaein bheji hain
mire charaagh ko paani se bharne vaalon ne

haar ko jiit ke imkaan se baandhe hue rakh
apni mushkil kisi aasaan se baandhe hue rakh

kis liye is se nikalne ki duaaein maangun
mujh ko maalum hai manjdhaar se aage kyaa hai

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

be-khudi mein le liyaa bosa khataa kiije muaaf
ye dil-e-betaab ki saari khataa thi main na thaa
