dil ki naazuk ragein TuTti hain — Kaifi Azmi

gar Dubnaa hi apnaa muqaddar hai to suno
Dubeinge ham zarur magar naakhudaa ke saath

ghurbat ki ThanDi chhaanv mein yaad aai us ki dhuup
qadr-e-vatan hui hamein tark-e-vatan ke baad

ik khvaab khushi kaa dekhaa nahin dekhaa jo kabhi to bhuul gae
maangaa huaa tum kuchh de na sake jo tum ne diyaa vo sahne do

divaarein to har taraf khaDi hain
kyaa ho gae mehrbaan saae

uThaa ke sar mujhe itnaa to dekh lene de
ki qatl-gaah mein divaane aae hain kyaa kyaa

peD ke kaaTne vaalon ko ye maalum to thaa
jism jal jaaeinge jab sar pe na saaya hogaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

jab jaam diyaa thaa saaqi ne jab daur chalaa thaa mahfil mein
ik hosh ki saaat kyaa kahiye kuchh yaad rahi kuchh bhuul gae

main ne jin ke liye raahon mein bichhaayaa thaa lahu
ham se kahte hain vahi ahd-e-vafaa yaad nahin

koi shikva na gham na koi yaad
baiThe baiThe bas aankh bhar aai

ik vahi shakhs mujh ko yaad rahaa
jis ko samjhaa thaa bhuul jaaungaa
