shaayad aa jaae kisi vaqt lab-e-baam vo chaand — Masroor Jalandhari

kyuun ham ko sunaate ho jahannam ke fasaane
is daur mein jiine ki sazaa kam to nahin hai

jo bhi chaaho nikaal lo matlab
khaamushi guftugu pe bhaari hai

hamaari aankhon mein be-vajh aa gae aansu
yaqin kiije kisi baat par nahin aae

ik umr ki mehnat kaa ye phal paaeinge ham log
miTTi ki ridaa oDh ke so jaaeinge ham log

main shauq-e-vasl mein kyaa rail par shitaab aayaa
ki subh hind mein thaa shaam panj-aab aayaa

tujh se kyaa subh talak saath nibhegaa ai umr
shab-e-furqat ki jo ghaDiyon kaa guzarnaa hai yahi

jo log aa rahe hain tumhaare qarib-tar
muD kar vo su-e-shaam-o-sahar dekhte nahin

kahin kahin koi taara kahin kahin jugnu
jo meri raat thi vo aap kaa saveraa hai

bujhaaun kyaa charaagh-e-subh-gaahi
mire ghar shaam honi hai sahar se

nasim-e-subh yuun le kar tiraa paighaam aati hai
pari jaise koi haathon mein le kar jaam aati hai
