Bhaley Dino Ki Baat Hai

bhaley dino ki baat hai

bhali si aik shakl thii

na yeh ke husn-e-tam ho

na dekhney main aam ho



na yeh ko woh chaley to

kehkashaan sey rehguzar lagey

magar woh sath ho to phir

bhala bhala safar lagey



koi bhi rut ho uski chab

fiza ka rang roop thii

woh garmyon ki chaon thi

woh sardiyon ki dhoop thi



na umr bhar juda rahey

na sath subah shaam ho

na wada-e-wafa pe zor

na yeh ke izn-e-aam ho



na itni khush libasiyaan

ke sadgi gila karey

na itni betakallufi

ke aayeena haya karey



na ikhtilaat main woh ram

ke bemaza ho khuwahishain

na is qadar supurdugi

ke zich karain nawazishain



na aashiqui junuun ki

ke zindagii azaab ho

na is qadar kathor pan

ke dosti kharab ho



kabhii to baat bhii khafii

kabhii sukuut bhii sukhan

kabhii to kasht-e-zaafran

kabhii udasiyon ka ban



suna hai ek umr hai

muamilaat-e-dil ki bhii

wisaal-e-janfiza to kiya

firaq-e-jangusal ki bhii



so ek roz kiya hua

wafa pe behes chir gayee

main ishq ko amar kahoon

woh meri zid sey chir gayee



main ishq ka aseer tha

woh ishq ko qafas kahey

ke umr bhar ke sath ko

woh bad-tar az hawas kahey



shajar, hajar nahiin ke hum

humesha pa-ba-gil rahein

na dhaur hain ke rassiyaan

galey main mustaqil rahein



mohabbaton ki wusatain

humarey dast-o-paa main hain

ke eik dar sey nisbatain

sagaan-e-bawafa main hain



main koii painting nahiin

ke ek frame main rahoon

wohii jo man ka meet ho

usi ke prem main rahoon



tumhari jo bhii soch ho

main us mizaaj kii nahiin

mujhey wafa sey bair hai

yeh baat aaj ki nahiin



na us ko mujh pe zuam tha

na mujh ko us pe naaz hii

jab ehad hii koii na ho

to kiya gham-e-shikastagii



so apna apna raasta

hansii khushii badal diya

woh apnii rah chal parii

main apnii rah chal diya



bhalii si ek shakl thii

bhalii si uski dostii

ab us kii yaad raat din

nahii magar kabhii kabhii
