gali ke baahar tamaam manzar badal gae the — Muneer Niyazi

ik tez raad jaisi sadaa har makaan mein
logon ko un ke ghar mein Daraa denaa chaahiye

sukhan mein sahl nahin jaan nikaal kar rakhnaa
ye zindagi hai hamaari sambhaal kar rakhnaa

shaayad ki khudaa mein aur mujh mein
ik jast kaa aur faasla hai

tum ham-safar hue to hui zindagi aziiz
mujh mein to zindagi kaa koi hausla na thaa

jis ko milnaa nahin phir us se mohabbat kaisi
sochtaa jaaun magar dil mein basaae jaaun

laai hai ab uDaa ke gae mausamon ki baas
barkhaa ki rut kaa qahr hai aur ham hain dosto

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

khud apni shai pe adhuraa hai ikhtiyaar mujhe
giraa to saktaa huun aansu uThaa nahin saktaa

chashm-e-giryaan ki aabyaari se
dil ke daaghon pe phir bahaar aai

mujhe rahnaa thaa tiri aankh mein aansu ki tarah
main to naakaam huun ai dost sitaara ban kar

naslein vahshi ho jaati hain yaar hifaazat karne mein
khush hone ki baat nahin hai sahraa ki sultaani par

khud apne gham hi se ki pahle dosti ham ne
aur us ke baa'd gham-e-dostaan ko pahchaanaa
