khushi visaal ki ab hai na ranj-e-tanhaai — Payam Fatehpuri

sukun de na sakin raahatein zamaane ki
jo niind aai tire gham ki chhaanv mein aai

ajiib shai hai tasavvur ki kaar-farmaai
hazaar mahfil-e-rangin sharik-e-tanhaai

nafas nafas pe yahaan rahmaton ki baarish hai
hai bad-nasib jise zindagi na raas aai

malaamaton se junun mein na kuchh kami aai
jaraahaton se baDhi zakhm-e-dil ki raanaai

phailaa fazaa mein naghma-e-zanjir-e-marhabaa
zindaan mein ghuT ke rah na saki zindagi ki baat

taarikh-e-kaaenaat-e-ibaadat junun se hai
unvaan-e-aql-o-hosh hai divaangi ki baat

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
