ye aur baat teri gali mein na aaein ham — Habib Jalib

kuchh aur bhi hain kaam hamein ai gham-e-jaanaan
kab tak koi uljhi hui zulfon ko sanvaare

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

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

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi
