donon hon kaise ek jaa 'mehdi' surur-o-soz-e-dil — S A Mehdi

in mein kyaa farq hai ab is kaa bhi ehsaas nahin
dard aur dil kaa zaraa dekhiye yaksaan honaa

jins-e-vafaa kaa dahr mein baazaar gir gayaa
jab ishq faiz-e-husn kaa haamil nahin rahaa

mustaqil ab bujhaa bujhaa saa hai
aakhir is dil ko ye huaa kyaa hai

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

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

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

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