Shikwa ........................

Kya karu shikayat, Shikwa kya karu!
Tujhse mai haal-e-dil bayan kya karu!!
      Tune jo dard diya hai mujhe,
      Is zakhmi dil ki peeda kya kahu,
      Tune jo thana hai, mujhe hi mitana hai,
      Apne zidd ke aagey tujhe duniya jhukana hai,
      Kabhi mai hi teri subah thi, mai hi din-raat,
      Mai hi teri khushi thi, mai hi teri hansi,
      Ab in khamosh hue hothon ki jubaa kya kahu,
Kya karu shikayat, Shikwa kya karu!
      Vaada tha tera sari khushiyan mujhe doge,
      Do pag mai sath chalu, tum manzil tai kar loge,
      Beech raah mei chhor gaye tum, roti mujhe akeli,
      Ab in behte hue aansuon ki peeda kya kahu,
Kya karu shikayat, Shikwa kya karu!
      Jamane ki parwah na karoge, aisa kaha tha tumne,
      Vaada karte the ki, kabhi zuda na hoge,
      Bekaraar dil tha tumhara mere liye,
      Is bechain dil ki tadap tujhse kya kahu,
Kya karu shikayat, Shikwa kya karu!
Tujhse mai haal-e-dil bayan kya karu!!
