sirf hangaama khaDaa karnaa miraa maqsad nahin — Dushyant Kumar

tu kisi rail si guzarti hai
main kisi pul saa thartharaataa huun

maslahat-aamez hote hain siyaasat ke qadam
tu na samjhegaa siyaasat tu abhi naadaan hai

ek qabristaan mein ghar mil rahaa hai
jis mein tah-khaanon se tah-khaane lage hain

azmat-e-mulk is siyaasat ke
haath nilaam ho rahi hai ab

in ThiThurti ungliyon ko is lapaT par seink lo
dhuup ab ghar ki kisi divaar par hogi nahin

tumhaare paaon ke niche koi zamin nahin
kamaal ye hai ki phir bhi tumhein yaqin nahin

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

gham-e-ishq hi ne kaaTi gham-e-ishq ki musibat
isi mauj ne Duboyaa isi mauj ne ubhaaraa

din kisi tarah se kaT jaaegaa saDkon pe 'shafaq'
shaam phir aaegi ham shaam se ghabraaeinge

kuchh aur bhi hain kaam hamein ai gham-e-jaanaan
kab tak koi uljhi hui zulfon ko sanvaare
