Kisht-E-Viran Ki Tarah Tishna Rahi Raat Meri

Sajida Zaidi

khayal-e-subh ki raanaiyan kuchh aur kahti hain

andheri raat ki tanhaiyan kuchh aur kahti hain

kabhi jam-e-tarab ki samt dast-e-shauq badhta hai

to us kam-o-dahan ki talkhiyan kuchh aur kahti hain

miri nazron ki pahnai men hain ajza-e-do-alam

guman-o-vaham ki parchhaiyan kuchh aur kahti hain

faraghat chahti hai zindagi do-char lamhe ki

magar rah-e-vafa ki sakhtiyan kuchh aur kahti hain

miri be-khvab ankhon men Kyayal-e-subh-e-farda hai

dil-e-bedar ki khamoshiyan kuchh aur kahti hain
