mujh se tu puchhne aayaa hai vafaa ke maani — Qateel Shifai

maanaa jivan mein aurat ik baar mohabbat karti hai
lekin mujh ko ye to bataa de kyaa tu aurat zaat nahin

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

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

yuun barasti hain tasavvur mein puraani yaadein
jaise barsaat ki rim-jhim mein samaan hotaa hai

zindagi main bhi chalungaa tire pichhe pichhe
tu mire dost kaa naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa ho jaanaa

sitam to ye hai ki vo bhi na ban sakaa apnaa
qubul ham ne kiye jis ke gham khushi ki tarah

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi
