ghar mein kyaa gham ke sivaa thaa jo bahaa le jaataa — Khaleel Tanveer

parind unchi uDaanon ki dhun mein rahtaa hai
magar zamin ki hadon mein basar bhi kartaa hai

vo log apne aap mein kitne aziim the
jo apne dushmanon se bhi nafrat na kar sake

auron ki buraai ko na dekhun vo nazar de
haan apni buraai ko parakhne kaa hunar de

rusvaa hue zalil hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aai to ham be-hunar hue

parind shaakh pe tanhaa udaas baiThaa hai
uDaan bhuul gayaa muddaton ki bandish mein

main kyaa huun kaun huun kyaa chiiz mujh mein muzmar hai
kai hijaab uThaae magar hijaab mein huun

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main aa kar dushmanon mein bas gayaa huun
yahaan hamdard hain do-chaar mere

Thahri thi ghizaa apni jo gham ishq-e-butaan mein
so aah hamaari hamein khuraak ne khaayaa

khaae so pachhtaae aur pachhtaae vo bhi jo na khaae
ye gham-e-ishq-e-butaan laDDu hai goyaa bor kaa
