main aa kar dushmanon mein bas gayaa huun — Rahat Indori

us ki yaad aai hai saanso zaraa aahista chalo
dhaDkanon se bhi ibaadat mein khalal paDtaa hai

dosti jab kisi se ki jaae
dushmanon ki bhi raae li jaae

chaand suraj miri chaukhaT pe kai sadiyon se
roz likkhe hue chehre pe savaal aate hain

main mar jaaun to meri ek alag pahchaan likh denaa
lahu se meri peshaani pe hindustaan likh denaa

ye havaaein uD na jaaein le ke kaaghaz kaa badan
dosto mujh par koi patthar zaraa bhaari rakho

botalein khol kar to pi barson
aaj dil khol kar bhi pi jaae

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

specialist pain-killer de to kaun saa?
''saare jahaan kaa dard hamaare jigar mein hai''

main nibal tanhaa na is duniyaa ki sohbat siin huaa
rustamon kuun kar diyaa hai naa-tavaan inzaal niin

tu kahaan rahti hai puchhaa thaa kisi ne ek din
main ghamon ke saath rahti huun khushi kahne lagi
