afsana-e-gham yun bhi dil-e-zar kaha hai

afsana-e-gham yun bhi dil-e-zar kaha hai
ek bar jo puchha hai to sau bar kaha hai
jo baat teri bazm mein hum kah na sake the
us baat ko logon ne sar-e-dar kaha hai


mamnun hain us shokh ke ai baad-e-saba hum
phulon ki zabani jo hamein pyar kaha hai
mumkin hai usi rah se manzil pe pahunch jaen
dil walon ne jis rah ko dushwar kaha hai


wo fakhr-e-masiha hai magar ahl-e-khirad ne
hairat hai use nargis-e-bimar kaha hai
arzan hui yun jins-e-mohabbat ki jahan mein
hum se tahi-daman ko kharidar kaha hai
