aasudgi-aamoz ho jab aabla-paai — Hameed Naseem

dekhte dekhte teraa chehra aur ik chehra ban jaataa hai
ik maanus malul saa chehra kab dekhaa thaa bhuul gayaa huun

kyaa khabar meraa safar hai aur kitni duur kaa
kaaghzi ik naav huun aur tez-rau paani mein huun

na yaad ki chubhan koi na koi lau malaal ki
main jaane kitni duur yunhi khud se be-khabar gayaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa
