phir laai hai barsaat tiri yaad kaa mausam — Sabir Dutt

ye kaisi siyaasat hai mire mulk pe haavi
insaan ko insaan se judaa dekh rahaa huun

ji bhar ke tumhein dekh luun taskin ho kuchh to
mat shama bujhaao ki abhi raat bahut hai

log karte hain khvaab ki baatein
ham ne dekhaa hai khvaab aankhon se

zulf ki shaam subh chehre ki
yahi mausam janaab de diije

rukh un kaa kahin aur nazar aur taraf hai
kis samt se aati hai qazaa dekh rahaa huun

muddaton baad uThaae the puraane kaaghaz
saath tere miri tasvir nikal aai hai

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

ai vahshat-e-sahraa mire qadmon se lipaT jaa
ab is se ziyaada to bikharne se rahaa main

chal diye su-e-haram ku-e-butaan se 'momin'
jab diyaa ranj buton ne to khudaa yaad aayaa

uljhaa hai paanv yaar kaa zulf-e-daraaz mein
lo aap apne daam mein sayyaad aa gayaa

kabhi ham mein tum mein bhi chaah thi kabhi ham se tum se bhi raah thi
kabhi ham bhi tum bhi the aashnaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
