Bahut Malul Bade Shadman Gae Hue Hain

Abdul Ahad Saaz

bahut malul bade shadman gae hue hain

ham aaj ham-rah-e-gum-gashtagan gae hue hain

agarche aae huon hi ke saath hain ham bhi

magar gae huon ke darmiyan gae hue hain

nazar to aate hain kamron men chalte-phirte magar

ye ghar ke log na jaane kahan gae hue hain

sahar ko ham se milo go ki shab men bhi hain yahin

ye koi thiik nahin kab kahan gae hue hain

kahin se laut ke qisse sunaenge tum ko

kahin sunane ko ham dastan gae hue hain

talashiye phir inhin men tarashiye phir inhen

yahi vasile ki jo raegan gae hote hain

abhi taayyun-e-sat.h-e-kalam kya puchho

abhi to ham tah-e-ijz-e-bayan gae hue hain

baja ki raaz ki baten bataenge tumhen ‘saz’

magar sambhal hi ke sunna miyan gae hue hain
