Chahat-e-Dard

Jise chaha maine tahe dil se,

Wo mujhe kabhi mili hi nahi,

Use dekhkar hua aihsaas kali ka,

Par na jane wo kali kabhi khili hi nahi.

Suna tha pyar nasib walon ko hai milta,

Par mere nasib ne apni sakshiyat dikhai hi nahi,

Wo mili ek-do mulakaton me dil se,

Lakin un mulakaton ne mujhe pyar ki santushti dilai hi nahi.

Kaise koi maan le kisi ko apna,

Jab uske sath ki tadap uske milne ke pichle palon se jada hai,

Kaise basa le koi kisi ko apne dil me,

Jab uski bichad jane ki probability jada hai.

Kisi ke sath bitae pal agar yaad bane, to use lagaw samajhna,

Agar wo yaden, lagataar Karen pareshaan, to use pyar samajhna,

Magar pyar ke aagosh me ek baar uske sath ko parakhna,

Kynki bina sath uske, Pyar jawan hota hi nahi.

Agar sath na mile, to mahroom pyar, kaatil hota hai,

Sirf yaden rah gayi to bada-se-bada aashiq, Dewdaas ban jata hai,

Dewdaas ke dard ko samajhna Itna aasan nahi,

Aur yaad rahe – Pyar bhale ho gaya ho kisi se,

Lakin uska sath mile ye jaruri bhi nahi.

Is pyar ke dard se Aashiq, Pyar pe se kho rahe vishwas hain,

Kai mashukayen aisi hai jinhe sacche aashiq ki darkaar hai,

Par na jane prakriti do pyar karne walon ko kyoun nahi milati,

Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu se lekar Krishna-Meera tak, Sabhi ko ek-dusre ke sath ke liye hai tad pati.
