kabhii kabhii mere dil men Khayaal aataa hai - Sahir Ludhianvi

kabhii kabhii mere dil men Khayaal aataa hai

ke zindagii terii zulfon kii narm chaaon men

guzarane paatii to shaadaab ho bhii sakatii thii

ye tiirgii jo merii ziist kaa muqaddar hai

terii nazar kii shuaaon men kho bhii sakatii thii

ajab na thaa ke main begaanaa-e-alam ho kar

tere jamaal kii raanaaiiyon men kho rahataa

teraa gudaaz badan terii niim-baar aankhen

inhiin hasiin fasaanon men maaho rahataa

pukaaratiin mujhe jab talKhiyaan zamaane kii

tere labon se halaawat ke ghuunt pii letaa

hayaat chiikhatii phiratii barahanaa-sar, aur main

ghanerii zulfon ke saaye men chhup ke jii letaa

magar ye ho na sakaa aur ab ye aalam hai

ke tuu nahiin, teraa gam, terii justajuu bhii nahiin

guzar rahii hai kuchh is tarah zindahii jaise

ise kisii ke sahaare kii aarazuu bhii nahiin

zamaane bhar ke dukhon ko lagaa chukaa huun gale

guzar rahaa huun kuchh anjaanii guzargaahon se

muhiib saaye merii simt badate aate hain

hayaat-o-maut ke purhaul Khaarazaaron se

na koii jaadaa na manzil na roshanii kaa suraag

bhatak rahii hai Khaalaaon men zindagii merii

inhiin Khalaaon men rah jaauungaa kabhii khokar

main jaanataa huun merii ham-nafas magar yuun hii

kabhii kabhii mere dil men Khayaal aataa hai
