Paas raho
———
mere qaatil, mere dildaar mere paas raho
jis ghaRi raat chale
aasmaanoN ka lahuu pii kar siyaah raat chale
marham-e-mushk liye nashtar-e-almaas chale
bain kartii hu’ii hanstii hu’ii gaatii nikle
dard ka kaasnii paazeb bajaatii nikle
jis ghaRi siinoN meN Duubte hu’e dil
aastiinoN meN nihaaN haathoN kii raah takne lageN
aas liye
aur bachchoN ke bilakhne kii tarah qulqul-e-mai
bahar-e-naa-aasuudgii machle to manaaye na mane
jab koii baat banaaye na bane
jab na koii baat chale
jis ghaRi raat chale
jis ghaRi maatami sunsaan siyaah raat chale
paas raho
mere qaatil mere dildaar mere paas raho
(Faiz Ahmed Faiz)
