us ko manzur nahin hai miri gumraahi bhi — Irfan Siddiqi

tum se mile to khud se ziyaada
tum ko akelaa paayaa ham ne

sham-e-khema koi zanjir nahin ham-safaraan
jis ko jaanaa hai chalaa jaae ijaazat kaisi

us ki aankhein hain ki ik Dubne vaalaa insaan
dusre Dubne vaale ko pukaare jaise

khiraaj maang rahi hai vo shaah-baanu-e-shahr
so ham bhi hadiya-e-dast-e-talab guzaarte hain

hoshiyaari dil-e-naadaan bahut kartaa hai
ranj kam sahtaa hai elaan bahut kartaa hai

bhuul jaaoge ki rahte the yahaan dusre log
kal phir aabaad kareinge ye makaan dusre log

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein

meri saari zindagi ko be-samar us ne kiyaa
umr meri thi magar us ko basar us ne kiyaa

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai
