ye khachaa-khach bhari hui vahshat — Imran Shamshad Narmi

schōl khuun chusne vaali machine hain
bhejo gulaab-gun to palaTtaa hai zard-faam

lauTnaa chaahiye zindagi ki taraf
zindagi ki taraf lauTnaa chaahiye

pahli cigarette pahlaa khvaab aur pahlaa ishq
in tinon mein ek bhi mujh ko yaad nahin

achchhaa achchhaa ho jaaegaa sab kuchh achchhaa
achchhaa achchhaa sab kuchh achchhaa ho jaaegaa

raat ke vaqt ubhartaa hai junun kaa suraj
din nikalte hi kisi chaand mein Dhal jaataa hai

ek baar phir salaam duur jaane vaalon ko
duur jaane vaalon ko ek baar phir salaam

aaise Dare hue hain zamaane ki chaal se
ghar mein bhi paanv rakhte hain ham to sambhaal kar

na jaane is qadar kyuun aap divaane se Darte hain
charaagh-e-anjuman hain aur parvaane se Darte hain

Dar to nahin magar kahin patton ke shor se
dil ko gumaan hai aaj koi haadisa na ho

main jangalon mein darindon ke saath rahtaa rahaa
ye khauf hai ki ab insaan na aa ke khaa le koi

ab to har ek adaakaar se Dar lagtaa hai
mujh ko dushman se nahin yaar se Dar lagtaa hai

Dubo rahaa hai mujhe Dubne kaa khauf ab tak
bhanvar ke biich huun dariyaa ke paar hote hue
