parbat sahraa nadiyaan jangal hamraaz tire honaa chaahein — Priyamvada Ilhan

idhar aate un ke qadam dekhte hain
sitam hai ki hai ye karam dekhte hain

bahut milne se aib dikhte hain kam-kam
bahut dekhte hain jo kam dekhte hain

ham sahraa vaale hain badraa ye prem ki rim-jhim aur kahin
aanaa hai yahaan to aaiyo tu jam kar jham-jham karne ke liye

kiije izhaar-e-mohabbat chaahe jo anjaam ho
zindagi mein zindagi jaisaa koi to kaam ho

jo kahkashaan si nazar aati hain miri aankhein
guzishta shab ke ye aansu hain jo sitaare hue

dil ko honaa hai fanaa rahnaa hai qaaem aql ko
hasti-e-aadam kahaan jaae ye fitrat chhoD kar

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

ghaTaa dekh kar khush huiin laDkiyaan
chhaton par khile phuul barsaat ke

shahr ki galiyon mein gahri tirgi giryaan rahi
raat baadal is tarah aae ki main to Dar gayaa
