Sahir Ludhianvi

Kal ni konpale futengi kal ne ful muskaaenge
Aur ni ghaans ki ni farsh par ne paanw ithhalaaenge
Wo mere bich nahin ae, main unake bich men kyon aun
Unaki subah aur shaamon ka main ek bhi lamha kyon paaun

Mere ghar ayi ek nanhi pari
Chaandani ke hasin rathape sawaar

Usaki baaton men shahad jaisi mithhaas
Usaki saanson men ittar ki mahakaar
Honthh jaise ke bhige bhige gulaab
Gaal jaise ke dahake dahake anaar

Raaz ki baat hai mahafil men kahen ya na kahen
Bas gaya hai koi is dil men kahen ya na kahen

Nigaahen milaane ko ji chaahata hai
Dil-o-jaan lutaane ko ji chaahata hai

Duniya kare sawaal to ham kya jawaab den
Tumako n ho khyaal to ham kya jawaab den

Puchhe koi ki dil ko kahaan chhod aye hain
Kis kis se apana rishta-e-jaan tod aye hain
Mushkil ho arj-e-haal to ham kya jawaab den

Praani apane prabhu se puchhe kis bidhi paaun tohe
Prabhu kahe tu man ko pa le pa jaaega mohe

Tora man darpan kahalaae
Bhale, bure, saare karmon ko dekhe aur dikhaae

Tadabir se bigadi hui, takadir bana le
Apane pe bharosa hai to ek daanw laga le

Darata hai jamaane ki nigaahon se bhala kyon ?
Insaaf tere saath hai, ilzaam uthha le

Man re tu kaahe na dhir dhare
Wo nirmohi moh n jaane, jinaka moh kare

Is jiwan ki chadhti dhalati dhup ko kis ne baandha
Rng pe kis ne pahare daale, rup ko kis ne baandha
Kaahe ye jatan kare, man re ...

Paanw chhu lene do fulon ko, inaayat hogi
Warna hamako nahin, inako bhi shikaayat hogi

Ap jo ful bichhaaen, unhen ham thhukaraaen
Ham ko dar hai ki ye tauhin-e-mohabbat hogi

Faili hui hain sapanon ki baahen
Aja chal de kahin dur
Wahi meri mnzil, wahi teri raahen
Aja chal de kahin dur

Dekha hai zindagi ko kuchh itana karib se
Chehare tamaam lagane lage hain ajib se

Kahane ko dil ki baat jinhen dhundhate the ham
Mahafil men a ge hain wo apane nasib se
