tarab kaa rang mohabbat ki lau nahin detaa — Fareed Javed

guftugu kisi se ho teraa dhyaan rahtaa hai
TuuT TuuT jaataa hai silsila takallum kaa

hamein bhi apni tabaahi pe ranj hotaa hai
hamaare haal-e-pareshaan pe muskuraao nahin

kitni ranginiyon mein teri yaad
kis qadar saadgi se aati hai

baat ko samajh lenaa 'aam baat hai lekin
baat ki nazaakat ko log kam samajhte hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

ye saal tul-e-masaafat se chuur chuur gayaa
ye ek saal to guzraa hai ik sadi ki tarah

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main
