Kuch aise hi..

My first attempt at vernacular poetry..

Tanhai ab meethi lagne lagi hai,
aur kadvi lag rahi hai logon ka saath.
Kuch aise hi hain aaj ke haalaath.

Dua karne se ab darta hai dil.
Inhi duaon se kayeen hue aabaad.
Inhi duaon se khud hue barbaad.

Bade ajeeb se din katthe hain hamaare.
Din ya raat, hosh ka koi khabar nahi.
Kya karein? Hothon ko sharaab jo paak lagne lagi.

Mann karta hai unse do lafz kahein.
Javaab sunne ke liye par ab dil nahi betaab.
Ab to hothon par bhi rakha hai hamne naqaab.
