Rafta Rafta Dil Mein Ek Uljhan Nai Pate Hain Hum

Qadir Siddiqi

rafta rafta dil men ik uljhan na.i paate hain ham

ham ye samjhe the ki un ko bhulte jaate hain ham

is ko kya kiije ki ye bhi khel hai taqdir ka

DhunDhte hain jab unhen apna pata paate hain ham

chand aahon par hamari hai pareshani unhen

saikḌon sadme hain jo ḳhamosh pi jaate hain ham

aisi duniya se shikayat kya gila kya ranj kya

phuul barsati hai duniya aag barsate hain ham

be-talab husn-e-ata ki shaan hi kuchh aur hai

aap kahte hain to liije haath phailate hain ham

apni rudad-e-alam ki ab vo manzil aa ga.i

koi sunta ho na sunta ho kahe jaate hain ham

lijiye tark-e-ta.alluq ka tahayya kar liya

dekhna ye hai use kab tak nibha paate hain ham

ai vafur-e-zindagi talḳhaba-e-hasti na puchh

zehn ki ḳhush-fahmiyon se dil ko bahlate hain ham

ranjish-e-beja ne un ki kar diya aalam hi aur

zindagi ke naam ki goya saza paate hain ham

dost na-ḳhush aqraba naraz barham ghar ke log

sach ka daman thaam kar achchha sila paate hain ham

kuchh ajab fitrat hai ‘qadir’ dard-e-dil ki aj-kal

jab koi deta hai taskin aur ghabrate hain ham
