chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai — Farhat Ehsas

ilaaj apnaa karaate phir rahe ho jaane kis kis se
mohabbat kar ke dekho naa mohabbat kyuun nahin karte

main ronaa chaahtaa huun khuub ronaa chaahtaa huun main
phir us ke baad gahri niind sonaa chaahtaa huun main

vo aql-mand kabhi josh mein nahin aataa
gale to lagtaa hai aaghosh mein nahin aataa

har gali kuche mein rone ki sadaa meri hai
shahr mein jo bhi huaa hai vo khataa meri hai

tamaam paikar-e-badsurti hai mard ki zaat
mujhe yaqin hai khudaa mard ho nahin saktaa

koi dariyaa ki taraf jaane ko tayyaar nahin
haath sab ke hain magar koi 'alam-daar nahin

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

sunaa hai chaand ko uljhaa liyaa hai shaakhon ne
so ab charaagh darichon pe rakh diye jaaein

itni siyaah-raat mein itni si raushni
ye chaand vo nahin miraa mahtaab aur hai

miraa ghar teri manzil gaah ho aise kahaan taalea
khudaa jaane kidhar kaa chaand aaj ai maah-ru niklaa

vahaan iid kyaa vahaan diid kyaa
jahaan chaand raat na aai ho

iid ke baa'd vo milne ke liye aae hain
iid kaa chaand nazar aane lagaa iid ke baad
