udaasiyon ko to aangan hi chaahiyein khaali — Kishwar Naheed

mardon ko sab ravaa pa hai aurat ko naaravaa
sharm-o-hayaa kaa shahr mein charchaa bhi hai ajab

hamein dekho hamaare paas baiTho ham se kuchh sikho
hamin ne pyaar maangaa thaa hamin ne daagh paae hain

us ko fursat bhi nahin mujh ko tamannaa bhi nahin
phir khalish kyaa hai ki rah rah ke vafaa DhunDhti hai

dil mein hai mulaaqaat ki khvaahish ki dabi aag
mehndi lage haathon ko chhupaa kar kahaan rakkhun

kuchh din to malaal us kaa haq thaa
bichhDaa to khayaal us kaa haq thaa

kaun jaane ki uDti hui dhuup bhi
kis taraf kaun si manzilon mein gai

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

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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
