Dil Ki Baat III

Waqt hi nahi tha doston - 

Warna hum to mohabbat mein qayamat barsane walon mein se hain.

--------------------------

Tujhe bhoolne ki roz kasamein khaate hain;

Tujhe to bhool nahi paate - 

Tujhe bhoolna hai, roz ye baat bhool jaate hain. 

----------------------------

Ishq kiya bhi to kya khoob kiya,

Aaj mile aur kal bhula diya.

Ye to aaj ke zamane ka dastoor sa ho gaya - 

Naam poocha nahi aur mehboob bana liya.

---------------------------

Tum ek haadse ka charcha karte ho-

Yahan roz khamoshi mein dum nikalta hai;

Baat keh nahi paaye, baat sun nahi paaye-

Yahan roz ek aarzoo dum todti hai-

Yahan roz ek hadsa hota hai.

------------------------------------

Tujhse jooda har lamha ek fareb lage hai-

Kabhi jo aati thi humein har baat pe hasi,

Ab har kissa naaqis lage hai.

Shikayat karna to buzdili hogi-

Hum apne zakhmo ko chupa lete hain.

Apne ashqon ki numaayish bhi nahi karte-

Mohabbat ki fariyaad to mohabbat ki toheen lage hai. 

-------------------------------------

Ye bhi hua ki humne intezaar karna chorr diya;

Gulshan ki taraf ab nigahein nahi karte,

Khud se guftgu karna chorr diya.

Sab karke dekh liya-

Tere deedaar-e-shauq ka nasha hai-

Jo subah talak utarta hi nahi;

Humne to zindagi ko jeena chorr diya-

Tera suroor hai rago mein jo bujhta hi nahi.

--------------------------

Ye zindagi yuhi kat jaati to dost na bante

Thokaron se rihai yuhi mil jaati to dua na padhte;

Apne dard ko mehfilon mein taqseem kar nadaan-

Gham andheron mein ghul jaate to maikhane na bante.
