jab ye panne kitaabon ke gal jaaeinge — Sujit Sahgal Haasil

ho gae bebas kai ustaad bhi haalaat se
bik rahi chhup-chhup ke yuun har roz bechaari ghazal

mujh ko joDaa hai toD kar khud ko
us ne mujh ko bikhartaa paayaa jab

rok ke apni aankh ke aansu hans kar us ko rukhsat di
tab samjhe hain yaaro ham bhi shahnaai kyaa hoti hai

dekh teri sohbaton kaa kyaa asar aayaa hai aaj
ek aavaara parinda phir se ghar aayaa hai aaj

un ko har zulm par du'aaein diin
sabr ki aur intihaa kyaa hai

yuun imtihaan meraa lete rahe masaail
ik haath par thaa dariyaa ik haath par thaa saahil

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

main ne dekhaa hai bahaaron mein chaman ko jalte
hai koi khvaab ki taabir bataane vaalaa
