ham apne shahr se ho kar udaas aae the — Sarfraz Nawaz

tumhaare sach ki hifaazat mein yuun huaa akasr
ki apne-aap ko jhuTaa banaa liyaa main ne

ishq adab hai to apne aap aae
gar sabaq hai to phir paDhaa mujh ko

be-sadaa si kisi aavaaz ke pichhe pichhe
chalte chalte main bahut duur nikal jaataa huun

khudaa kare ki vahi baat us ke dil mein ho
jo baat kahne ki himmat juTaa rahaa huun main

safar kahaan se kahaan tak pahunch gayaa meraa
ruke jo paanv to kaandhon pe jaa rahaa huun main

mire baghair koi tum ko DhunDtaa kaise
tumhein pata hai tumhaaraa pata rahaa huun main

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

khalvat-e-jaan mein tiraa dard basaanaa chaahe
dil samundar mein bhi divaar uThaanaa chaahe

shadid tund havaaein hain kyaa kiyaa jaae
sukut-e-gham ki sadaaein hain kyaa kiyaa jaae

udaas raaton ki tirgi mein na koi taaraa na koi jugnu
kisi kaa naqsh-e-qadam hi chamke to nuur kaa e'tibaar aae
