log kahte hain mujhe is liye tanhaai-pasand — Salman Saeed

kisi bhi darja ri'aayat nahin hai vahshat mein
bichhaD ke us se tumhein qahqahe lagaane the

manaayaa jaa rahaa hai gham tumhaaraa
puraani film dekhi jaa rahi hai

hamaare khel ki guDiyaa tumhi ho
tumhaare khel kaa guDDaa nayaa hai

khuun se mazlum ke ho to gae raushan charaagh
raushni aisi hui phir shahr andhaa ho gayaa

faqat ye lakDi nahin hai tumhaari baisaakhi
shajar ke haath kaTe hain ise banaane mein

'ajib Dhang se mujh ko mili hai aazaadi
parinda pinjre mein pinjra havaa mein rakkhaa gayaa

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

puchhaa jo shabaab-e-bashari chashm-e-fanaa se
palkon ne sadaa di ki bharosaa nahin pal kaa

kis ne ki hain ye botalein khaali
pi gayaa kaun apni tanhaai
