hamaari aankh ke aansu sameTo — Sultan Shaafi

zindagi ek film hai meri
jis mein hansne kaa scene hai hi nahin

vahshat ne mujh hasin ko behaal kar diyaa
kamzor dil ke log na dekhein miri taraf

puchh mujh se ki kis tarah main ne
teri tasvir pe guzaaraa kiyaa

haalaanki ek shakhs tumhaari jagah pe hai
lekin tumhaaraa is se khalaa bhar nahin rahaa

ik samt ghar ke log hain ik samt 'ishq hai
ai naujavaan laDki himaaqat ki baat hai

dekh aansu na qaid ho jaae
meri tasvir khinchne vaale

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

aisi taraqqi par to ronaa bantaa hai
jis mein dahshat-gard corona bantaa hai

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

naaz kar naaz tire naaz pe hai naaz mujhe
meri tanhaai hai partav tiri yaktaai kaa
