kuchh na hote hote ik din ye huaa — Zaheer Rahmati

khushi se apnaa ghar aabaad kar ke
bahut roeinge tum ko yaad kar ke

kisi din uqda-e-mushkil bhi khultaa
kabhi ham par bhi tum aasaan hote

jis ki kuchh taabir na ho
khvaab usi ko kahte hain

sadiyon mein koi ek mohabbat hoti hai
baaqi to sab khel tamaashaa hotaa hai

aur ehsaas-e-jihaalat baDh gayaa
kis qadar paDh likh ke jaahil ho gae

zamaane bhar ko hai ummid usi se
vo naa-ummid aisaa kar rahaa hai

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

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

us pe qurbaan ki jis ne tiri aavaaz suni
sadqe us aankh ke jis ne tiraa jalva dekhaa

bahut ghurur thaa biphre hue samundar ko
magar jo dekhaa mire aansuon se kam-tar thaa
