Arshad Malik

Roshni kar raha hai is dil mein,
Ik diya sa jala hai is dil mein,

Dar hai aankhen na phir chalak jayen,
Ik kaanta chubha hai is dil mein,

Jis ke saarey makaan khali hain,
Sheher aesa basaa hai is dil mein,

Gungunaane lagi hain saansain bhi,
Koi rehne laga hai is dil mein,

Koi jis ka nahin ilaaj Arshad,
Dard aesa uthaa hai is dil mein..

Tumhari yaadon ka aik taara sa jhil’milata hai, i miss you,
Udaas raton mein dil akela tumhain bulaata hai, i miss you,

Jab aasman par dhannak ka manzar tamaam rangon ke sath aye,
To aese aalam mein naam tera labo’n pe ata hai, i miss you,

Kabhi jo baarish ki tezz boondain tere tasawur mein nachti hain,
To aese aalam mein tera Arshad bhi gungunaata hai, i miss you..

Faisla kar ke badal jate hain,
Roz kehte bhulaa dain tum ko..

Tere lehje mein jaadu hai kuch aesa,
Mujhe sun’ne ki aadat ho gayi hai..

Ik ik zakham dikhaaon tum ko aao to,
Kese kese phool khile hain dekho to,

Sheiron jese jhilmil karte lamhon mein,
Kangan ghazlon ka pehnaaon aao to,

Hanste gaatey logon ki is dunya mein,
Hum kyon itne chup rehte hain socho to,

In chahat ki tarsi pyassi ankhon mein,
Sapnon ka ik sheher bassaa hai dekho to,

Janaan in dunya walon ki nazaron se,
Door kahin le jaaon tum ko aao to,

Ik ik kar ke sare saathi chorr gaye,
Tum bhi raah badal sakte ho chaho to,

Deewana sab log samajhne lagte hain,
Arshad bass khamosh raho ghar aao to..

Ab phool yeh wafaon ke chunta nahin koi,
Guldaan udaas they usey takta nahin koi,

Gham baantne ki aas pe na rehna dosto,
Auron ki aag mein yahan jalta nahin koi,

Yu’n roshni ne khalaq se cheena hai aitbar,
Tareekiyon se ab yahan darta nahin koi,

Dunya to teri yaad ka paikar bhi cheenti,
Sad-shukar is pe dastaras rakhta nahi koi,

Wakif hain is safar ki sau’bat se sarey log,
Is raah-guzaar e ishq pe chalta nahin koi,

Dukh ki kisi sadaape paltey nahin hain hum,
Seenay mein ab to dard bhi uthta nahin koi..

Zindagi rukh badal gayi hoti,
Kash tu mujh ko mil gayi hoti,
Zindagi ko galey laga leta,
Har tamana pighal gayi hoti,
Kash tu mujh ko mil gayi hoti,

Khawab palkon pe mein sajaa leta,
Tujh ko seeney se mein laga leta,
Apne dil mein tujhe basaa leta,
Meri kismat badal gayi hoti,
Kash tu mujh ko mil gayi hoti,

Aahh nikle gi hont si loon ga,
Jis tarah ho sake ga jee lon ga,
Zeher bhi hanste hanste pee loon ga,
Gham ki yeh dhoop dhal gayi hoti,
Kash tu mujh ko mil gayi hoti,

Ab tere gham ko dil mein paloon ga,
Haan judai ka zakham kha loon ga,
Maut ko bhi galey laga loon ga,
Maut bhi aa ke tall gayi hoti,
Kash tu mujh ko mil gayi hoti..

Bichar gaya hai jo ab us ka malaal kya karna,
Ab us ki yaad mein jeena muhaal kya karna,

Mein janta hoon ke woh bewafa na maaney ga,
Wohi jawab miley ga, Sawal kya karna,

Tu hijar de gaya aur pyar ko bhula betha,
Woh bewafa tha ab us ka khayal kya karna,

Usey bhulana hi Arshad teri bhalayi hai,
Dil-e-tabaah ko ab hasta haal kya karna..

Suno yu’n umar ghat’ti hai,
Bohat socha nahin karte,

Mohabbat karke aayina,
Bohat dekha nahin karte,

Yu’n hathon ki lakeeron ko,
Bohat chooma nahin karte,

Kisi dil men woh kehta hai,
Bohat thehra nahin karte,

Jo khud apna ho aayina,
Usey dhundla nahin karte,

Jahan tareek sochain hon,
Wahan chamka nahin karte,

Jo aansu dil se ubhre hon,
Unhe roka nahin karte,

Akele khud to rehte hain,
Nahin tanha nahin karte,

Kisi ke hijar mein Arshad,
Bohat jaaga nahin karte,

Suno yu’n umar ghat’ti hai,
Bohat socha nahin karte,

Zahir kisi surat bhi kahin naam na karna,
Hain log bohat khaas humain aam na karna,

Janey ki ijazat to diye dete hain lekin,
Raste main kahin aate huye shaam na karna,

Kuch roz se yeh haal hai chahat mein tumhari,
Bekaar parre rehna koi kaam na karna,

Main bhi na dikhaon ga sar-e-raah girebaan,
Tum bhi mere waadon ko sar-e-aam na karna,

Is shart pe hai tark-e-taluq ki ijazat,
Badnaam zamane mein mera naam na karna,

Hum log palat aaney ki haatir nahin jate,
Wa sham ke baad apne dar-o-baam na karna,

Yadon ka nasha hosh urra deta hai Arshad,
Saaqi se kaho samne ab jaaam na karna..
