Mujhe Maangne Se Pehle

By Shuja Hasan

Kaun hu mai Kaun ho tum

Jo rasta kal hi mujhe mila uss raste ka naya khauf ho kya tum

Rishto ki asheer e azmat ya uski girah ho kya tum

Mai toh khudme bhi nhi maujood, Uss behasili ka abad sirah ho kya tum

Iss Jang e safar me Guroor e vast ho kya tum

Mai Roshni se khar khaata, andhere ka noor ho kya tum

Khudike kandhe pe haath rakhke use musafat kehta

Unn alag alag haatho ke badalte roop o rang ho kya tum

Jhoot hi kehdo mujhpe naaz hai ye saadgi kha jayegi mujhe

Roz roz sach bolne se kya thakte nhi ho tum

Agar mai nawaazu sukoon hai toh kya kahoge

Zamana padh chuke par zamana nhi ho tum

Dost, yaar, muhabbat, gunah sabhi mere ho tum

Mai logo se ghabrata, unke kabr e haqiqat me ho tum

Kuch baate kehni thi tumhse dil halka krna tha zara

Iss rumal me gham nhi theharta, kya iss rumal me bhi ab dafan ho tum

Khair, bairhal, tum paas ho to itminan hai

Koi hai jo jaanta mujhse bade ho tum

Abhi dekha hi tha duniya ko tere bagair ek pal

Ki aakhon ke aasu banke chale aagye phir ho tum

Asheer e azmat – Nobly prisoned

Gurror e vast – ego of being alone

Nawaazu - say

Khar – thorn

Musafat - dosti
