ham hii me.n thii na koii baat, yaad na tum ko aa sake
Hafeez Jullundhary

ham hii me.n thii na koii baat, yaad na tum ko aa sake
tumne hame.n bhulaa diyaa, ham na tumhe.n bhulaa sake

tum hii na sun sake agar, qissaa-e-Gam sunegaa kaun
kis kii zubaa.N khulegii phir, ham na agar sunaa sake

hosh me.n aa chuke the ham josh me.n aa chuke the ham
bazm kaa rang dekh kar sar na magar uThaa sake

shauq-e-visaal hai yahaa.N, lab pe savaal hai yahaa.N
kis kii majaal hai yahaa.N, ham se nazar milaa sake

raunaq-e-bazm ban gae lab pe hikaayate.n rahii.n
dil me.n shikaayaten rahii.n lab na magar hilaa sake

aisaa bhii ko_ii naamaabar baat pe kaan dhar sake
sun kar yakiin kar sake jaa ke u.nhe.n sunaa sake

ahal-e-zabaa.N to hai.n bahut koii nahii.n hai ahal-e-dil
kaun terii tarah "hafeez" dard ke geet gaa sake
