aayaa hi thaa abhi mire lab pe vafaa kaa naam — Qateel Shifai

abhi to baat karo ham se doston ki tarah
phir ikhtilaaf ke pahlu nikaalte rahnaa

aakhri hichki tire zaanun pe aae
maut bhi main shaairaana chaahtaa huun

apne haathon ki lakiron mein sajaa le mujh ko
main huun teraa tu nasib apnaa banaa le mujh ko

nikal kar dair-o-kaaba se agar miltaa na but-khaana
to Thukraae hue insaan khudaa jaane kahaan jaate

kyuun sharik-e-gham banaate ho kisi ko ai 'qatil'
apni suuli apne kaandhe par uThaao chup raho

ab jis ke ji mein aae vahi paae raushni
ham ne to dil jalaa ke sar-e-aam rakh diyaa

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki
