koi din aur gham-e-hijr mein shaadaan ho lein — Mahmood Ayaz

tu ru-ba-ru ho to ai ru-e-yaar tujh se kahein
vo harf-e-gham ki harif-e-gham-e-zamaanaa hai

vo nahin hai na sahi tark-e-tamannaa na karo
dil akelaa hai ise aur akelaa na karo

lafz o manzar mein maaani ko TaTolaa na karo
hosh vaale ho to har baat ko samjhaa na karo

chaand khaamosh jaa rahaa thaa kahin
ham ne bhi us se koi baat na ki

sham-e-shab-taab ek raat jali
jalne vaale tamaam umr jale

jiine vaalon se kaho koi tamannaa DhunDein
ham to aasuda-e-manzil hain hamaaraa kyaa hai

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

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

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