kyaa bhuul paD gai hai raste sanbhaalne mein — Rauf Raza

mere siine se nikaalo miri buniyaad ki jaan
itni aasaani se viraan nahin hotaa main

ham ko vaise bhi koi kaam nahin aataa hai
aur ye kaam haqiqat ko fasaana karnaa

ab ye pathraai hui aankhein liye phirte raho
main ne kab tum se kahaa thaa mujhe itnaa dekho

saare naakaam-e-tamannaa mire dil tak aa jaaein
aaj vo kaam kareinge ki jo hone kaa nahin

vo ye kahte hain sadaa ho to tumhaare jaisi
is kaa matlab to yahi hai ki pukaare jaao

vo to bachchon ki patangon ne use gher liyaa
varna chupke se nikal jaati bahaar aai hui

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

fikr-e-maaash o ishq-e-butaan yaad-e-raftagaan
in mushkilon se ahd-baraai na ho saki

tumhaari yaad baDi khush-gavaar thi lekin
dil-e-hazin ke liye talkhiyaan baDhaa bhi gai

yaad aae hain uff gunah kyaa kyaa
haath uThaae hain jab duaa ke liye

khushnumaa gumbad to koi aur hai
ham to buniyaadon ke patthar ban gae
