kisi haalat mein bhi tanhaa nahin hone deti — Farhat Ehsas

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai

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

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

mire haath mein tire naam ki vo lakir miTti chali gai
mire chaara-gar mire dard ki hi vazaahaton mein lage rahe

kartaa main dardmand tabibon se kyaa rujua
jis ne diyaa thaa dard baDaa vo hakim thaa

tanhaai ke lamhaat kaa ehsaas huaa hai
jab taaron bhari raat kaa ehsaas huaa hai
