mere aangan ki udaasi na gai — Rais Farogh

fasl tumhaari achchhi hogi jaao hamaare kahne se
apne gaanv ki har gori ko nai chunariyaa laa denaa

bastiyon mein ham bhi rahte hain magar
jaise aavaara havaa sahraaon mein

ham koi achchhe chor nahin par ek dafa to ham ne bhi
saaraa gahna luuT liyaa thaa aadhi raat ke mehmaan kaa

tez havaa ke saath chalaa hai zard musaafir mausam kaa
os ne daaman thaam liyaa to pal-do-pal ko rukaa bhi hai

meraa bhi ek baap thaa achchhaa saa ek baap
vo jis jagah pahunch ke maraa thaa vahin huun main

ThanDi chaae ki pyaali pi ke
raat ki pyaas bujhaai hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

bahut royaa huun main jab se ye main ne khvaab dekhaa hai
ki aap aansu bahaate saamne dushman ke baiThe hain

bahut se gham to diye 'zabt' aise logon ne
ki jin se koi tavaqqo na thi vafaa ke sivaa

muddat ke baa'd us ne jo ki lutf ki nigaah
ji khush to ho gayaa magar aansu nikal paDe
