yaa mujhe teri hatheli bujhe — Ishrat Afreen

vo zakhm chun ke mire khaar mujh mein chhoD gayaa
ki us ko shauq thaa be-intihaa gulaabon kaa

kachchi umron mein bhi akeli rahi
main sadaa apni hi saheli rahi

bhuuk se yaa vabaa se marnaa hai
faisla aadmi ko karnaa hai

laDkiyaan maaon jaise muqaddar kyuun rakhti hain
tan sahraa aur aankh samundar kyuun rakhti hain

shaam ko teraa hans kar milnaa
din bhar ki ujrat hoti hai

avval ahl-e-qabila ne parcham banaayaa use aur phir
pesh-e-dushman bhi taavaan mein sirf meri ridaa le gae
