Kaifi Azmi

Tum jo mil ge ho to ye lagata hai
Ki jahaan mil gaya
Ek bhatake hue raahi ko kaarawaan mil gaya

Tumhaari zulf ke saaye men shaam kar lunga
Safr is umr ka pal men tamaam kar lunga

Najr milaai to puchhunga ishk ka anjaam
Nazar jhukaai to khaali salaam kar lunga

Aj socha to ansu bhar aye
Muddate ho gayi muskuraaye

Har kadam par udhar mud ke dekha
Unaki mahafil se ham uthh to aye

Rah gayi jindagi dard ban ke
Dard dil men chhupaaye chhupaaye

Dhire dhire machal ai dil-e-bekaraar, koi ata hai
Yun tadp ke na tadapa mujhe baar baar, koi ata hai

Kuchh dil ne kaha, kuchh bhi nahin
Aisi bhi baaten hoti hain
Kuchh dil ne suna, kuchh bhi nahin
Aisi bhi baaten hoti hain

Har taraf ab yahi afasaane hain
Ham teri ankhon ke diwaane hain

Betaab dil ki tamanna yahi hai
Tumhe chaahenge, tumhe pujenge
Tumhe apana khuda banaayenge

Koi ye kaise bataae ki wo tanaha kyon hai
Wo jo apana tha wahi aur kisi ka kyon hai
Yahi duniya hai to fir aisi ye duniya kyon hai
Yahi hota hai to akhir yahi hota kyon hai?

Tum itana jo muskura rahe ho
Kya gam hai jisako chhupa rahe ho

Ankhon men nami, hnsi labon par
Kya haal hai, kya dikha rahe ho

Ban jaayenge jahar pite pite
Ye ashk jo pite ja rahe ho

Yeh chehre ishq na jaane
Yeh parde hataa deti hai
Jahaan dil ka hai thikana
Yeh raahein bataa deti hai

Musafir main hoon phir bhi
Manzil paas tu hai
Chalun main jis raah par
Tu hai wahaan
