bhule-bisre hue gham phir ubhar aate hain kai — Fuzail Jafri

aaThon pahr lahu mein nahaayaa kare koi
yuun bhi na apne dard ko dariyaa kare koi

zahr miThaa ho to piine mein mazaa aataa hai
baat sach kahiye magar yuun ki haqiqat na lage

dasht-e-tanhaai mein jiine kaa saliqa sikhiye
ye shikasta baam-o-dar bhi ham-safar ho jaaeinge

bose biivi ke hansi bachchon ki aankhein maan ki
qaid-khaane mein giraftaar samajhiye ham ko

koi manzil aakhiri manzil nahin hoti 'fuzail'
zindagi bhi hai misaal-e-mauj-e-dariyaa raah-rau

ghar se baahar nahin niklaa jaataa
raushni yaad dilaati hai tiri

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

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

qaanun jaise kho chukaa sadiyon kaa e'timaad
ab kaun dekhtaa hai khataa kaa hai rukh kidhar

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge
