khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko — Nida Fazli

dil mein na ho jurat to mohabbat nahin milti
khairaat mein itni baDi daulat nahin milti

tamaam shahr mein aisaa nahin khulus na ho
jahaan umiid ho is ki vahaan nahin miltaa

koshish bhi kar umiid bhi rakh raasta bhi chun
phir is ke baa'd thoDaa muqaddar talaash kar

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

tum se chhuT kar bhi tumhein bhulnaa aasaan na thaa
tum ko hi yaad kiyaa tum ko bhulaane ke liye

ye kyaa azaab hai sab apne aap mein gum hain
zabaan mili hai magar ham-zabaan nahin miltaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

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

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost
