mujh ko bikhraayaa gayaa aur sameTaa bhi gayaa — Shakeel Azmi

kuchh dinon ke liye manzar se agar haT jaao
zindagi bhar ki shanaasaai chali jaati hai

isi khataa pe bujhaae gae charaagh mire
main jaantaa thaa bahut kuchh havaa ke baare mein

ghar ke divaar-o-dar pe shaam hi se
nazm likhtaa huaa hai sannaaTaa

haar ho jaati hai jab maan liyaa jaataa hai
jiit tab hoti hai jab Thaan liyaa jaataa hai

apni manzil pe pahunchnaa bhi khaDe rahnaa bhi
kitnaa mushkil hai baDe ho ke baDe rahnaa bhi

tumhaari maut ne maaraa hai jite-ji ham ko
hamaari jaan bhi goyaa tumhaari jaan mein thi

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge

jab talak ham na chaahte the tujhe
tab tak aisaa tiraa jamaal na thaa
