ham ko khushiyaan bhi udaasi ke lifaafe mein milin — Noman Badr

main kaaTaa jaaungaa sab ko 'aziz hote hue
saDak ke biich mein aayaa huaa darakht huun main

ye lamha jis mein ham aaj chhup kar gale mile hain
agar muqaddar nahin milaa to sazaa banegaa

lafz-e-ehsaas ko tasvir nahin kar sakte
'ishq duniyaa ki zabaanon se baDaa hai shaayad

ghol ke ghol mire sahn mein aa baiThte hain
ye parinde mujhe hijrat nahin karne dete

hamaare baa'd bhi tum qahqahe lagaate ho
tumhaare baa'd to ham baat bhi nahin karte

tumhaare saath ik duniyaa khaDi hai
hamaare saath to ham bhi nahin hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

dilon ke dard jagaa khvaahishon ke khvaab sajaa
balaa-kashaan-e-nazar ke liye saraab sajaa

mujhe kisi ne sunaa hi nahin tavajjoh se
main bad-zabaan sadaa-e-karakht huun shaayad

yaaro nae mausam ne ye ehsaan kiye hain
ab yaad mujhe dard puraane nahin aate
