aansuon se likh rahe hain bebasi ki daastaan — Azm Shakri

aaj ki raat divaali hai diye raushan hain
aaj ki raat ye lagtaa hai main so saktaa huun

zakhm jo tum ne diyaa vo is liye rakkhaa haraa
zindagi mein kyaa bachegaa zakhm bhar jaane ke baad

vaqt-e-rukhsat aab-dida aap kyuun hain
jism se to jaan hamaari jaa rahi hai

yuun baar baar mujh ko sadaaein na dijiye
ab vo nahin rahaa huun koi dusraa huun main

saare dukh so jaaeinge lekin ik aisaa gham bhi hai
jo mire bistar pe sadiyon kaa safar rakh jaaegaa

main ne ik shahr hamesha ke liye chhoD diyaa
lekin us shahr ko aaankhon mein basaa laayaa huun

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

ye zindagi hai apni kabhi khush kabhi udaas
is kashmakash se mujh ko khudaayaa rihaai de
