MERA DARD

Shikhast thi mili, pyaar ke kheme main mili thi haar,
Sawaal the mann main uthe, poochne ko the bekraar,
kya hui thi khata, jo hui woh ishq se fraar,
Shiddaat na thi, ya chhal tha mera pyaar.

Isi uljhaan main yeh dil bidaktaa raha,
Bin kahe yeh dil karhaata raha,
Na thi pyaar main kami kehke yeh baihlata raha,
Kisi aur ko paane mein yeh khudko samethta raha.

Bekhabar main, mila betha kisi se akhiyaan,
Bholepaan mein uske gawaa baitha apni nindiyaan,
Subah Shaam lagta, bas odtlu uski chunnariya,
chhuke uska dil, banaake apni Sawaariya.

Dekhkar laga samjhegi mere jazbaato ko,
Hosh aya, jab rondha mere armaano ko,
Nasamajh tha jo nazar andaz kiya uske ishaaro ko,
bhuja di woh shama jo sulaghti thi use paane ko.

Kehti thi achhai nahi, uski khamiyo se karo pyaar,
Ishq hai pooja aashiqui hai inaam,
kaatil in aadaayo ka hua uska ghulaam,
Bin soche kuch kiya khudko uske naam.

Mere haar lavz me woh jhalakti,
Lagta mere dard ko woh bakhubi samajhti,
Kyu likhi mere naasib main itni badkismati,
Jis pyaar par tha khumaar, wohi meri sabse badi galti nikali.
