phulon ki taazgi mein udaasi hai shaam ki — Faraz Sultanpuri

ye dil hai dil ise siine mein hargiz
kabhi rakhnaa na tum patthar banaa ke

dhuup ki sakhti to thi lekin 'faraaz'
zindagi mein phir bhi thaa saaya bahut

'faraaz' is tarah zindagi hai gizaari
ki goyaa koi haadsa chhoD aae

kahin aisaa na ho main duur khud apne se ho jaaun
meri hasti ke hangaamon mein kuchh tanhaaiyaan rakh do

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

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

tujhe bhi dekh liyaa ham ne o khudaa-e-ajal
ki teraa zor chalaa bhi to ahl-e-gham pe chalaa

tum jo chaaho to mire dard kaa darmaan ho jaae
varna mushkil hai ki mushkil miri aasaan ho jaae
