bahut se gham chhupe honge hansi mein — Waqar Manvi

dil mein jo mar jaae vo hai armaan
jo nikle armaan nahin hai

vaqaar' ai kaash meri umr mein shaamil na ki jaae
vo muddat haan vahi muddat jo guzri un ki furqat mein

kahaan milegi bhalaa is sitamgari ki misaal
taras bhi khaataa hai mujh par tabaah kar ke mujhe

hamaari zindagi kahne ki had tak zindagi hai bas
ye shiraaza bhi dekhaa jaae to barham hai barson se

gharib ko havas-e-zindagi nahin hoti
bas itnaa hai ki vo izzat se marnaa chaahtaa hai

saliqa bolne kaa ho to bolo
nahin to chup bhali hai lab na kholo

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

gham azizon kaa hasinon ki judaai dekhi
dekhein dikhlaae abhi gardish-e-dauraan kyaa kyaa

dard chehra pahan ke aayaa thaa
teraa chehra thaa so qubul kiyaa

duniyaa badal gai thi koi gham na thaa mujhe
tum bhi badal gae the ye hairaani khaa gai
