us ko dekho kabhi udaasi mein — Meraj Naqvi

ham tire hijr ki sabhi raatein
pi ke cigarette guzaar dete hain

khud-kushi bhi haraam hai yaa-rab
dil ki vahshat kaa kyaa 'ilaaj karun

niind mein bhi hai sharm chehre par
khvaab mein mujh se mil rahi ho kyaa

tum mire khvaab mein nahin aanaa
TuuT jaate hain mere khvaab sabhi

pahle hansne to do musibat par
phir ye socheinge kyaa kiyaa jaae

jaane kyon hijr ke sabhi mausam
tere lahje mein baat karte hain

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jaan sadqe ek bose par kareinge umr-bhar
dekh lo munh se milaa kar munh hamaaraa jhuuT sach

abr-e-bahaar ab bhi jachtaa nahin nazar mein
kuchh aansuon ke qatre ab bhi hain chashm-e-tar mein
