Yeh Shaam Shaam Zindagi

Rooh bechain hai ik dil ki aziyyat kya hai

Dil hi shola hai to yeh soz-e-mohabbat kya hai
Woh mujhay bhul gai is ki shikayat kya hai
Ranj to yeh hai keh ro ro kay bhulaya ho ga

Wo kahan aur kahan kaif-e-gham sozish e jan
Us ki rangeen nazar aur nuqoosh e hirman
Us ka ehsas e lateef aur shikast e armaan
Tanzan ek zamana nazar aaya ho ga

Jhuk gai ho gee jawan saal umangon ki jabeen
Mit gai ho gee lalak dub gaya hoga yaqeen
Chha gya ho ga dhuan ghoom gai ho gee zameen
Apnay phalay hi ghronday ko jo dhaya ho ga

Dil nay aisay bhi kuch afsanay sunaey hon gay
Ashk aankhob nay piye aur na bahaye hon gay
Band kamray main jo khat meray jalaye hon gay
Ek ek harf jabeen par ubhar aaya ho ga

Us nay ghabra kay nazar lakh bachai ho gee
Mita kay ik naqsh nay sau shakl dikhai ho gee
Maiz say jab meri tasveer hatai ho gee
Har taraf mujh ko tarapta hua paya ho ga

Bemahal chher pe jazbat ubal aye hon gay
Ghum pasheman tabassum maib dhal aye hon gay
Naam par meray jab ansu nikal aaye hon gay
Sar na kandhay say saheli kay uthaya ho ga

Zulf zeed kar kay kisi nay jo banai ho gee
Ruthay jalwon pay khizan aur bhi chhai ho gee
Barq ashwon ne kai din na giraee ho gee
Rang cheharay pay kai roz na aaya ho ga

Ho kay majbur mujhay us nay bhulaya ho ga
Zehr chup kar kay dawa jan ke khaya ho ga..!!!
