ik lahar us ki aankh mein hai hausla-shikan — Jamal Ehsani

isi ik baat par hai ittifaaq-o-ikhtilaaf us se
use aaina aur mujh ko piyaala achchhaa lagtaa hai

hazaar tarah ke the ranj pichhle mausam mein
par itnaa thaa ki koi saath rone vaalaa thaa

jo dil ke taaq mein tu ne charaagh rakkhaa thaa
na puchh main ne use kis tarah sitaara kiyaa

kisi bhi vaqt badal saktaa hai lamha koi
is qadar khush bhi na ho meri pareshaani par

vo log mere bahut pyaar karne vaale the
guzar gae hain jo mausam guzarne vaale the

vo bhi milne nai poshaak badal kar aayaa
main jo kal pairahan-e-khaak badal kar aayaa

kashti bhi nahin badli dariyaa bhi nahin badlaa
aur Dubne vaalon kaa jazba bhi nahin badlaa

hazaaron tamannaaon ke khuun se ham ne
kharidi hai ik tohmat-e-paarsaai

dil-e-sarshaar miraa chashm-e-siyah-mast tiri
jazba Takraa de na paimaane se paimaane ko

mushkil kaa saamnaa ho to himmat na haariye
himmat hai shart saahib-e-himmat se kyaa na ho

vo bulaate to hain mujh ko magar ai jazba-e-dil
shauq itnaa bhi na baDh jaae ki jaae na bane

kahne ko faqat ibn-e-ali ibn-e-ali hain
dekho to kahin jazba-e-haidar nahin miltaa
