ham to kuchh der hans bhi lete hain — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

bhuul shaayad bahut baDi kar li
dil ne duniyaa se dosti kar li

hasin to aur hain lekin koi kahaan tujh saa
jo dil jalaae bahut phir bhi dilrubaa hi lage

khudaa aise ehsaas kaa naam hai
rahe saamne aur dikhaai na de

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

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

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

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

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
