ruuh bechain hai ik dil kii aziiyat kyaa hai - Kaifi Azmi

andeshe

ruuh bechain hai ik dil kii aziiyat kyaa hai

dil hii sholaa hai to ye soz-e-mohabbat kyaa hai

vo mujhe bhuul gaii iskii shikaayat kyaa hai

ranj to ye hai ke ro-roke bhulaayaa hogaa

vo kahaan aur kahaan kaahif-e-gam sozish-e-jaan

us kii rangiin nazar aur nuquush-e-hirmaan

us kaa ehsaas-e-latiif aur shikast-e-armaan

taanaazan ek zamaanaa nazar aayaa hogaa

jhuk gaii hogii javaan-saal umangon kii jabiin

mit gaii hogii lalak duub gayaa hogaa yaqiin

chhaa gayaa hogaa dhuaan ghuum gaii hogii zamiin

apane pahale hii gharonde ko jo dhaayaa hogaa

dil ne aise bhii kuchh afsaane sunaaye honge

ashk aankhon ne piye aur na bahaaye honge

band kamare men jo khat mere jalaaye honge

ek-ik harf jabiin par ubhar aayaa hogaa

us ne ghabaraake nazar laakh bachaaii hogii

mitake ik naqsh ne sau shaql dikhaaii hogii

mez se jab merii tasviir hataaii hogii

har taraf mujh ko tadaptaa huaa paayaa hogaa

bemahal chhed pe jazbaat ubal aaye honge

gam pashemaan tabassum men dhal aaye honge

naam par mere jab aansuu nikal aaye honge

sar na kaandhe se sahalii ke uthaayaa hogaa

zulf zid kar ke kisii ne jo banaaii hogii

ruuthw jalvon pe khizaan aur bhii chhaaii hogii

barq ashvon ne kaii din na giraaii hogii

rang chehare pe kaii roz na aayaa hogaa

hoke majabuur mujhe us ne bhulaayaa hogaa

zahar chup kar ke davaa jaan ke khaayaa hogaa
