dukh jhelo to ji kaDaa hi rakhnaa — Tauseef Tabassum

kyaa ye sach hai ki khizaan mein bhi chaman khilte hain
mere daaman mein lahu hai to mahaktaa kyaa hai

dil bayaaz-e-umr ki auraaq-gardaani mein hai
kyaa khabar hai kaun saa safha khulaa rah jaaegaa

kaun se dukh ko palle baandhein kis gham ko tahrir karein
yaan to dard sivaa hotaa hai aur bhi arz-e-haal ke baad

jo bhi narmi hai khayaalon mein na hone se hai
khvaab aankhon se nikal jaaein to patthar ho jaaein

paanv mein lipTi hui hai sab ke zanjir-e-anaa
sab musaafir hain yahaan lekin safar mein kaun hai

achchhaa hai ki sirf ishq kiije
ye umr to yuun bhi raaegaan hai

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

raaz-e-nihaan zabaan-e-aghyaar tak na pahunchaa
kyaa ek bhi hamaaraa khat yaar tak na pahunchaa

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki
