Aawara

shahr ki raat aur main nashad o nakara phirun

jagmagati jagti saDkon pe aawara phirun

ghair ki basti hai kab tak dar-ba-dar mara phirun

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

jhilmilate qumqumon ki rah mein zanjir si

raat ke hathon mein din ki mohni taswir si

mere sine par magar rakhi hui shamshir si

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

ye rupahli chhanw ye aakash par taron ka jal

jaise sufi ka tasawwur jaise aashiq ka KHayal

aah lekin kaun jaane kaun samjhe ji ka haal

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

phir wo TuTa ek sitara phir wo chhuTi phul-jaDi

jaane kis ki god mein aai ye moti ki laDi

huk si sine mein uTThi choT si dil par paDi

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

raat hans hans kar ye kahti hai ki mai-KHane mein chal

phir kisi shahnaz-e-lala-ruKH ke kashane mein chal

ye nahin mumkin to phir ai dost virane mein chal

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

har taraf bikhri hui ranginiyan ranaiyan

har qadam par ishraten leti hui angDaiyan

baDh rahi hain god phailae hue ruswaiyan

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

raste mein ruk ke dam le lun meri aadat nahin

lauT kar wapas chala jaun meri fitrat nahin

aur koi ham-nawa mil jae ye qismat nahin

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

muntazir hai ek tufan-e-bala mere liye

ab bhi jaane kitne darwaze hain wa mere liye

par musibat hai mera ahd-e-wafa mere liye

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

ji mein aata hai ki ab ahd-e-wafa bhi toD dun

un ko pa sakta hun main ye aasra bhi toD dun

han munasib hai ye zanjir-e-hawa bhi toD dun

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

ek mahal ki aaD se nikla wo pila mahtab

jaise mulla ka amama jaise baniye ki kitab

jaise muflis ki jawani jaise bewa ka shabab

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

dil mein ek shoala bhaDak uTTha hai aaKHir kya karun

mera paimana chhalak uTTha hai aaKHir kya karun

zaKHm sine ka mahak uTTha hai aaKHir kya karun

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

ji mein aata hai ye murda chand tare noch lun

is kinare noch lun aur us kinare noch lun

ek do ka zikr kya sare ke sare noch lun

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

muflisi aur ye mazahir hain nazar ke samne

saikDon sultan-e-jabir hain nazar ke samne

saikDon changez o nadir hain nazar ke samne

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

le ke ek changez ke hathon se KHanjar toD dun

taj par us ke damakta hai jo patthar toD dun

koi toDe ya na toDe main hi baDh kar toD dun

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun

baDh ke us indar sabha ka saz o saman phunk dun

us ka gulshan phunk dun us ka shabistan phunk dun

taKHt-e-sultan kya main sara qasr-e-sultan phunk dun

ai gham-e-dil kya karun ai wahshat-e-dil kya karun
