Apna Jab Bojh Meri Jaan uThana paD Jae

Jamal Ehsani

apna jab bojh miri jaan uThana paḌ jaa.e

dusron ka na kuchh ehsan uThana paḌ jaa.e

is qadar aish-e-mohabbat pe na ho ḳhush ki tujh

dusre ishq men nuqsan uThana paḌ jaa.e

is sara.e men na phaila.iye ajza-e-hayat

jaane kis vaqt ye saman uThana paḌ jaa.e

yuun na ho bol paḌun main tiri ḳhamoshi par

aur tujhe bazm se mehman uThana paḌ jaa.e

phir badal jaa.e na is va.ada-e-imroz se tu

aur hamen dusra tufan uThana paḌ jaa.e

kya tamasha ho sar-e-kucha-e-dildar agar

mere jaisa koi nadan uThana paḌ jaa.e

main to mar ja.un usi vaqt agar mujh ko ‘jamal’

ishq se haath kisi aan uThana paḌ jaa.e
