gham-e-jahaan ke taqaaze shadid hain varna — Qabil Ajmeri

rang-e-mahfil chaahtaa hai ik mukammal inqalaab
chand shamon ke bhaDakne se sahar hoti nahin

raasta hai ki kaTtaa jaataa hai
faasla hai ki kam nahin hotaa

ab ye aalam hai ki gham ki bhi khabar hoti nahin
ashk bah jaate hain lekin aankh tar hoti nahin

ham badalte hain rukh havaaon kaa
aae duniyaa hamaare saath chale

tum na maano magar haqiqat hai
ishq insaan ki zarurat hai

vaqt kartaa hai parvarish barson
haadisa ek dam nahin hotaa

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

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke

us pe qurbaan ki jis ne tiri aavaaz suni
sadqe us aankh ke jis ne tiraa jalva dekhaa
