Mai-Khana-e-Hasti Mein Aksar Hum Apna Thikana Bhul Gae

Abdul Hamid Adam

mai-khana-e-hasti men aksar ham apna thikana bhuul gae

ya hosh men jaana bhuul gae ya hosh men aana bhuul gae

asbab to ban hi jaate hain taqdir ki zid ko kya kahiye

ik jaam to pahuncha tha ham tak ham jaam uthana bhuul gae

aae the bikhere zulfon ko ik roz hamare marqad par

do ashk to tapke ankhon se do phuul chadhana bhuul gae

chaha tha ki un ki ankhon se kuchh rang-e-baharan le liije

taqrib to achchhi thi lekin do aankh milana bhuul gae

maalum nahin aine men chupke se hansa tha kaun ‘adam’

ham jaam uthana bhuul gae vo saaz bajana bhuul gae
