Ada Jafri - Akhiri Tis Azamane Ko...

"Akhiri Tis Azamane Ko..." by Ada Jafri

akhiri Tis azamane ko
ji to chaha tha muskurane ko

yad itni bhi sakht jan to nahin
ik gharaunda raha hai dahane ko

sangrezon main dhal gaye ansu
log hansate rahe dikhane ko

zaKhm-e-nagma bhi lau to deta hai
ik diya rah gaya jalane ko

jalane vale to jal bujhe akhir
kaun deta Khabar zamane ko

kitne majbur ho gaye honge
ankahi bat munh pe lane ko

khul ke hansana to sab ko ata hai
log tarasate rahe ik bahane ko

reza reza bikhar gaya insan
dil ki viraniyan jatane ko

hasraton ki panahgahon main
kya thikane hain sar chhupane ko

hath kanTon se kar liye zakhmi
phul balon main ik sajane ko

as ki bat ho ki sans ‘Ada’
ye Khilaune hain tuT jane ko
