gham-e-insaan ko siine se lagaa lo — Matin Niazi

aise khoe sahar ke divaane
lauT kar shaam tak na ghar aae

tufaan se bach ke Duubi hai kashti kahaan na puchh
saahil bhi e'tibaar ke qaabil nahin rahaa

yahi aaina hai vo aaina jo liye hai jalva-e-aagahi
ye jo shaaeri kaa shuur hai ye payambari ki talaash hai

gham-e-maaal gham-e-zindagi gham-e-dauraan
hamaare ishq kaa charchaa kahaan kahaan na rahaa

ham to aashufta-sari se na sanvarne paae
aap se kyuun na sanvaaraa gayaa gesu apnaa

agar duniyaa tujhe divaana kahti hai to kahne de
vafaadaaraan-e-ulfat par yahi ilzaam aataa hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

ab to vo shahr-e-khamoshaan kaa makin ho chukaa hai
apni aankhon se mire aansu bahaane vaalaa

vahi rishte vahi naate vahi gham
badan se ruuh tak uktaa gai thi

hichkiyaan raat dard tanhaai
aa bhi jaao tasalliyaan de do
