dil pe kuchh aur guzarti hai magar kyaa kiije — Jaleel 'Aali'

barg bhar baar mohabbat kaa uThaayaa kab thaa
tum ne siine mein koi dard basaayaa kab thaa

ham ki hain naqsh sar-e-reg-e-ravaank kyaa jaane
kab koi mauj-e-havaa apnaa nishaan le jaae

raasta sochte rahne se kidhar bantaa hai
sar mein saudaa ho to divaar mein dar bantaa hai

tumhaaraa kyaa tumhein aasaan bahut raste badalnaa hai
hamein har ek mausam qaafile ke saath chalnaa hai

jaan khapaate hain gham-e-ishq mein khush khush 'aali'
kaisi lazzat kaa ye aazaar banaayaa huaa hai

raasta aage bhi le jaataa nahin
lauT kar jaanaa bhi mushkil ho gayaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aayaa
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aayaa

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein
