Jin Ke Angan Mein Ameeri Ka Shajar Lagta Hai,
Un Ka Har Aib Bhi Zamane Ko Hunar Lagta Hai!
Shajar = Tree
Aib = Weakness
Rote Hain Ab Wahin Tanha Baith Ke "Akash";
Jahan Sath-Sath Jeene Ke Khwab Dekhte The!
Aisa Gham Na De Ki Kabhi Ro Bhi Na Sakun,
Shab Kya Din Mein Bhi So Bhi Na Sakun;
Pehle Hi Bahut Daag Hain Mere Daaman Mein,
Aur Daagdar Na Kar Ki Dho Bhi Na Sakun!
Aisa Gham Na De Ki Kabhi Ro Bhi Na Sakun,
Shab Kya Din Mein Bhi So Bhi Na Sakun;
Pehle Hi Bahut Daag Hain Mere Daaman Mein,
Aur Daagdar Na Kar Ki Dho Bhi Na Sakun!
Mera Haal-e-Dil Fir Mere Dil Mein Hi Rah Gaya;
Ik Kagaz Pe Likha Tha Barsaat Mein Bhig Gaya!
Lafz Bhi Jis Ahd Mein Kho Baithe Apna Aitbaar;
Khamoshi Ko Iss Mein Kitna Motabar Maine Kiya!
Lafz: Words
Ahd: Period
Motabar: Reliable, trustworthy
Kuch Aur Bhi Hain Humein Kaam Aye Gham-e-Janan;
Kab Tak Koi Uljhi Hui Zulfon Ko Sanwarey!
Parda-e-Noor Banke Chhaye Hain,
Aasuon Ki Tarah Machlate Khwab;
Bistar-e-Dil Pe Khoon Uglate Khwab,
Raat Bhar Karvatein Badlate Khwab!
Na Jee Bhar Ke Dekha, Na Kuch Baat Ki;
Badi Arzoo Thi Mulaqat Ki!
Tujh Se Bichhad Kar Bhi Tera Paas Rehta Hun;
Khuda Gawah Hai Main Bahut Udaas Rehta Hun!
