zaalim thaa vo aur zulm kii aadat bhii bahut thii - Kaleem Ajiz

zaalim thaa vo aur zulm kii aadat bhii bahut thii

majabuur the ham us se muhabbat bhii bahut thii

us but ke sitam sah ke dikhaa hii diyaa ham ne

go apanii tabiyat men bagaavat bhii bahut thii

vaaqif hii na thaa ramz-e-muhabbat se vo varnaa

dil ke liye thodii sii inaayat bhii bahut thii

yuun hii nahiin mashhuur-e-zamaanaa meraa qaatil

us shakhs ko is fan men mahaarat bhii bahut thii

kyaa daur-e-gazal thaa ke lahuu dil men bahut thaa

aur dil ko lahuu karane kii fursat bhii bahut thii

har shaam sunaate the hasiinon ko gazal ham

jab maal bahut thaa to sakhaavat bhii bahut thii

bulavaa ke ham 'ajiz' ko pashemaan bhii bahut hain

kyaa kiijiye kambakht kii shoharat bhii bahut thii
