حال ہوا جب پوچھنے آئی ہم مجبوروں سے — خالد احمد

Haal hua jab poochhne aayi hum majburo'n se

Haal hua jab poochhne aayi hum majburo'n se
Koi baat kahaan ban paayi hum majburo'n se
Aaj sabhi dukh aansoo ban kar aankh mein tir gaye
Khel rahi thi khel khudayi hum majburo'n se
Woh be-parda woh be-parwa woh yak sar yak taar
Baat kare ya woh harjayi hum majburo'n se
Paao'n tod ke baithh rahe hain raah ke patthar bhi
Chah rahe thhe raah numayi hum majburo'n se
Kis aahat ki bahaar se pag pag dhool ke phool khile
Kis mausam ne thhokar khayi hum majburo'n se
Kis ke lams ke aks numa hain khushboo ke jhonke
Poochh na baithhe gul sahraayi hum majburo'n se
Baal nichod ke jhatke kis ne dukh ke dil baadal
Poochh rahi hai yeh parwaayi hum majburo'n se
Dard ke rukh darwaze rakhein chaand ke rukh khirki
Kaash karaye woh chunwayi hum majburo'n se
Kaar namoo aaghaz rahega gour ho ya gulshan
Rut ne seekhi gul aarayi hum majburo'n se
Aankhein honto'n ke taale bhi khulte dekhengi
Duniya chheen to le goyayi hum majburo'n se
Raah dikhane wale kis din kis pal aa pahunche'n
Kab chhan jaaye yeh beenayi hum majburo'n se
Noor chiragh-e-taaq-e-taghaful dil taareek na kar
Bol kuch ae mah-e-yaktaayi hum majburo'n se
Zehar piyala pi lo 'Khalid', silag uthho 'Khalid'
Kya kya kehti thi shehnayi hum majburo'n se
