kuchh aur bhi hain kaam hamein ai gham-e-jaanaan — Habib Jalib

sher se shaairi se Darte hain
kam-nazar raushni se Darte hain

duniyaa to chaahti hai yunhi faasle rahein
duniyaa ke mashvaron pe na jaa us gali mein chal

aane vaali barkhaa dekhein kyaa dikhlaae aankhon ko
ye barkhaa barsaate din to bin piritam be-kaar gae

kuchh log khayaalon se chale jaaein to soein
biite hue din raat na yaad aaein to soein

chhoD is baat ko ai dost ki tujh se pahle
ham ne kis kis ko khayaalon mein basaae rakkhaa

ik tiri yaad se ik tere tasavvur se hamein
aa gae yaad kai naam hasinaaon ke

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

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

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

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai
