ye saath gaanv mein ek chhoTaa saa kaam hai bas — Haseebul Hasan

tumhaari aankhon pe nazm kahne se pahle ham ne bhigoi aankhein
sunaa huaa thaa zamin nam ho to achchhi hoti hai kaasht-kaari

ham aise log zaaea ho rahe hain
khudaa chup-chaap dekhe jaa rahaa hai

us ke meaar par khudaa laae
us nazar tak to aa gae hain ham

sitaare dekhne vaale hamein bataate hain
hamaare honT tumhaari jabin ko tarseinge

use bataanaa parinde use bulaate hain
use bataanaa ki shaair udaas hai us kaa

hamaare aansu kisi Thikaane to lag rahe hain
furaat ke bad-nasib paani kaa kyaa banegaa

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

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

us pe qurbaan ki jis ne tiri aavaaz suni
sadqe us aankh ke jis ne tiraa jalva dekhaa

Thahri thi ghizaa apni jo gham ishq-e-butaan mein
so aah hamaari hamein khuraak ne khaayaa
