Parchhaiyan

kyun na ab tum se tasawwur mein karun baat suno tum se ye kahna hai mujhe
tum kahogi nahin main wajh-e-suKHan jaan gai

yaad se teri hi mamur hain din-raat ye kahna hai mujhe
tum kahogi ki main hasti ko kafan man gai

rah-e-ulfat mein kabhi hoga tera sath ye kahna hai mujhe
tum kahogi main zamane ka chalan jaan gai

kaun badlega ye haalat ye kahna hai mujhe
tum kahogi main unhen dar-o-rasan man gai

zindagi ye hai to marna bhi hai baraat ye kahna hai mujhe
tum kahogi ki ye main soKHta-tan jaan gai

main zamane ke hun aain ka paband ye kahna hai mujhe

tum kaho dekho ki ye marg-e-abad hai ki nahin
han main is pe hun raza-mand ye kahna hai mujhe

tum kaho jaur-e-zaman ki koi had hai ki nahin
mujh pe har rah hui band ye kahna hai mujhe

tum kaho zinda giraftar-e-lahad hai ki nahin
han giraftar hun do chand ye kahna hai mujhe

tum kaho neamat-e-hasti se ye kad hai ki nahin

tum meri zist ke virane mein partaw ho KHayabanon ka
main to sarsar hun ki viranon se kya mel KHayabanon ke

tum to ho naghma-e-shab-tab mare ujDe shabistanon ka
main to shewan hun ki shewan hain nishan aise shabistanon ke

tum naya rup rachao naya singar ho mere nae armanon ka
main to hun KHun-e-tamanna ki sada KHun hua karte hain armanon ke

tum to amrit ho malalon ke alaw mein jali jaanon ka
main nahin rakh bhi kya aur nishan honge malalon se jali jaanon ke
