ayaadat ko aae shifaa ho gai — Meena Kumari Naz

tere qadmon ki aahaT ko ye dil hai DhunDtaa har dam
har ik aavaaz par ik thartharaahaT hoti jaati hai

puchhte ho to suno kaise basar hoti hai
raat khairaat ki sadqe ki sahar hoti hai

shama huun phuul huun yaa ret pe qadmon kaa nishaan
aap ko haq hai mujhe jo bhi ji chaahe kah lein

aaghaaz to hotaa hai anjaam nahin hotaa
jab meri kahaani mein vo naam nahin hotaa

ayaadat hoti jaati hai ibaadat hoti jaati hai
mire marne ki dekho sab ko aadat hoti jaati hai

hansi thami hai in aankhon mein yuun nami ki tarah
chamak uThe hain andhere bhi raushni ki tarah

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

mohabbatein to huiin aur tum se pahle bhi
magar jo tum se hui yaad karte rahte hain

yaadgaar-e-zamaana hain ham log
sun rakho tum fasaana hain ham log

yunhi dil ne chaahaa thaa ronaa-rulaanaa
tiri yaad to ban gai ik bahaanaa

aap ne din banaa diyaa thaa jise
zindagi bhar vo raat yaad aai
