Kya Karen Gulshan Pe Joban Zer-E-Dam Aaya to Kya

Shaad Aarfi

kya karen gulshan pe joban zer-e-dam aaya to kya

kya tavaqqo inqalab-e-nau nizam aaya to kya

ab ye tasir-e-mohabbat par qasida kya zarur

jazba-e-be-tabi-e-dil tha jo kaam aaya to kya

aankh se dil ki taraf dauḌe vo mai piite hain ham

ham vo mai-kash hain ki saaqi le ke jaam aaya to kya

zo.af apna toḌne deta hai zanjiren kahin

ham men dam kya hai jo vaqt-e-intiqam aaya to kya

main samajhta huun use aghaz-e-mustaqbil-faza

aap kahte hain koi bala-e-bam aaya to kya

ab vo iz.har-e-haqiqat ke liye Darte nahin

ab vo kahte hain ḳhat us ka mere naam aaya to kya

hai to na-ehsan-shanasi ‘shad’ lekin kya karun

kaam ban sakta tha yuun bhi koi kaam aaya to kya
