shaayad hi raas aae mujhe aish-e-marg bhi — Mustafa Rahi

allaah tere haath hai khuddaariyon ki laaj
daanista haadsaat se Takraa gayaa huun main

be-khudi mein shaan-e-khuddaari bhi hai
khvaab mein ehsaas-e-bedaari bhi hai

dil dhaDaktaa hai sitaaron kaa yahaan
uf ye duniyaa kis qadar taarik hai

na samjhaa koi asraar-e-mohabbat
jo samjhaa kuchh dil-e-naadaan samjhaa

aadamiyyat kaa zikr kyaa naaseh
aadmi ab kahaan hain saae hain

dekhiye kab tak yahi haalat yahi aalam rahe
dil ki har dhaDkan ye kahti hai ki vo aane ko 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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

tum ko paanaa nahin miraa maqsad
ab faqat tum ko bhuul jaanaa hai

dabaa sakaa na sadaa us ki teri bazm kaa shor
khamosh rah ke bhi koi sadaa banaa huaa hai

ashk-e-gham dida-e-pur-nam se sambhaale na gae
ye vo bachche hain jo maan baap se paale na gae
