pareshaan the tiri mahfil se baahar — Kunwar Mahendra Singh Bedi Sahar

gham-e-sud-o-ziyaan se be-niyaazaana nikaltaa hai
baDi farzaangi se teraa divaana nikaltaa hai

ham un ke sitam ko bhi karam jaan rahe hain
aur vo hain ki is par bhi buraa maan rahe hain

in shokh hasinon ki niraali hai adaa bhi
but ho ke samajhte hain ki jaise hain khudaa bhi

kisi ik-aadh mai-kash se khataa kuchh ho gai hogi
magar kyuun mai-kade kaa mai-kada bad-naam hai saaqi

muskuraanaa kabhi na raas aayaa
har hansi ek vaardaat bani

abhi vo kamsin ubhar rahaa hai abhi hai us par shabaab aadhaa
abhi jigar mein khalish hai aadhi abhi hai mujh par itaab aadhaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
