Yaar tha Gulzar tha

Wilderness by Neha

yaar tha gulzar tha bad-e-saba thi main na tha
layaq-e-pa-bos-e-jan kya hina thi main na tha

hath
kyon bandhe mere chala agar chori hua
ye
sarapa shokhi-e-rang-e-hina thi main na tha

main
ne pucha kya hua wo ap ka husn-o-shabab
hans k bola wo sanam shan-e-Khuda thi main na tha

main
sisakta rah gaya aur mar gaye farahad-o-qais
kya unhin donon k hisse mein qaza thi main na tha

Bahadur Shah Zafar

Urdu Word Key : Gulzar= garden, saba = morning, qaza = judgement
