ye gham judaa hai bahut jald-baaz the ham tum — Jamal Ehsani

us ne baarish mein bhi khiDki khol ke dekhaa nahin
bhigne vaalon ko kal kyaa kyaa pareshaani hui

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

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

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

chaaron jaanib rachi hui hai ashkon ki bu-baas
is raste se guzre honge qaafile hijrat vaale

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
