'hilaal' aur ziyaada ho teraa zor-e-qalam — Hilal Badayuni

maujud mere dil mein jo zakhmon ke daagh hain
vo ek bevafaa ke sitam ke charaagh hain

maza to jab hai ki dil kaa andheraa miT jaae
gharon mein laakh charaaghaan kiyaa kare koi

sirf rishta nahin ek ehsaas hai
duur ho kar bhi maan to mire paas hai

kuchh aur de na paae zamaane ko ham 'hilaal'
paighaam-e-amn deinge isi shaaeri se ham

gharib shakhs ko miltaa nahin kisi bhi tarah
ye ishq ho gayaa sarkaari naukri ki tarah

tumhaare saamne jazbaat saare khol saktaa huun
jo sunnaa chaahte ho tum main vo bhi bol saktaa huun

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
