Aur Kya Rah Gaya Hai Hone Ko

Abrar Ahmad

aur kya rah gaya hai hone ko

ek aansu nahin hai rone ko

khvab achchhe rahenge an-dekhe

khaak achchhi rahegi sone ko

tu kahin baith aur hukm chala

ham jo hain tera bojh dhone ko

chashm-e-nam chaar ashk aur idhar

daagh ik rah gaya hai dhone ko

baithne ko jagah nahin milti

kya karen odhne-bichhaune ko

ye mah o saal chand baaqi hain

aur kuchh bhi nahin hai khone ko

na-rasai ka ranj laae hain

tere dil men kahin samone ko

aaj ki raat jaag lo yaaro

vaqt phir hashr tak hai sone ko

yaad bhi teri mit gai dil se

aur kya rah gaya hai hone ko
