Aawara

shahar kii raat aur main naashaad-o-naakaaraa phiruun
jagmagaati jaagati sadakon pe aavaaraa phirun
gair ki basti hai kab tak dar badar maraa phirun

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

jhilmilate qumqumon ki raah main zanjeer si
raat ke haathon main ki mohani tasvir si
mere seene par magar chalati hui shamashir si

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kya karun

ye rupahali chhaaon ye aakaash par taaron ka jaal
jaise suufi kaa tasavvur jaise aashiq kaa Khayaal
aah lekin kaun jaane kaun samajhe ji kaa haal

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

phir vo tootaa ik sitaaraa phir vo chhuutee phuljhadi
jaane kis ki god main aaye ye moti ki ladee
hook si seene main uthee chot see dil par padee

ai gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

raat hans hans kar ye kahatee hai ke maikhaane main chal
phir kisee shah_naaz-e-laalaarukh ke kaashaane main chal
ye naheen mumkin to phir ai dost veeraane main chal

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

har taraf bikharee hui rangeeniyaan raanaaiyaan
har qadam par isharate.n leti hui angadaiyan
badh rahi hai god phailaaye hue rusavaaiyan

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

raaste main ruk ke dam le lun meri aadat nahin
laut kar vaapas chala jaaun meri fitarat nahin
aur koi hamnava mil jaaye ye qismat nahin

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

muntazir hai ek tuufaan-e-balaa mere liye
ab bhi jaane kitane daravaaze hain vaa mere liye
par musibat hai meraa ahad-e-vafaa mere liye

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

ji main aataa hai ki ab ahad-e-vafaa bhi tod dun
un ko paa sakataa hun main ye aasaraa bhi chhod dun
haan munaasib hai ye zanjeer-e-havaa bhi tod dun

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

ik mahal kii aad se nikalaa vo peelaa maahtaab
jaise mullah kaa amamaa jaise baniye ki kitaab
jaise muflis ki javaani jaise bevaa kaa shabaab

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

dil me ek sholaa bhadak uthaa hai aakhir kyaa karun
meraa paimanaa chhalak uthaa hai aaKhir kyaa karun
zakhm seene kaa mahak uthaa hai aakhir kyaa karun

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

muflisi aur ye mazaahir hain nazar ke saamane
saikadon changez-o-naadir hain nazar ke saamane
saikadon sultaan jaabar hain nazar ke saamane

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

le ke ik changez ke haathon se khanjar tod doon
taaj par us ke damakataa hai jo patthar tod doon
koi tode yaa na tode main hi badhakar tod doon

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

badh ke is indar-sabhaa kaa saaz-o-saamaan phuunk doon
is kaa gulshan phoonk doon us kaa shabistan phoonk doon
takht-e-sultaan kyaa main saraa qasr-e-sultaan phoonk doon

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun

jee main aata hai ye murdaa chaand-taare noch loon
is kinaare noch loon aur us kinaare noch loon
ek do kaa zikr kyaa saare ke saare noch loon

ai Gam-e-dil kyaa karun ai vahashat-e-dil kyaa karun
