maujud mere dil mein jo zakhmon ke daagh hain — Hilal Badayuni

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

jab chhuaa hogaa us ne phulon ko
hosh khushbu ke uD gae honge

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

bevafaa tum hue ki tark-e-mohabbat main ne
ishq-baazi miraa sheva thaa miri zaat na thi

'aarif'-husain dhokaa sahi apni zindagi
is zindagi ke baa'd ki haalat bhi hai fareb

ik bevafaa ke pyaar mein had se guzar gae
kaafir ke pyaar ne hamein kaafir banaa diyaa

jin kaa maqsad fareb hotaa hai
vo baDi saadgi se milte hain

dikhaai detaa hai jo kuchh kahin vo khvaab na ho
jo sun rahi huun vo dhokaa na ho samaaat kaa

ik umr bhaTakte hue guzri hai junun mein
ab kaun fareb-e-nigah-e-yaar mein aae
