Dard Ki Dastaan...

Mudat Beet Gayi,
Humare Honth Hai Aaj Bhi Sile Hue,
Kal Hi Bichade The,
Par Laga Jaise Sadiya Beet Gayi Hai Mile Hue,

Jab Milta Hoon Unse To Sochta Hoon Apne Dil Ki Baat Keh Doon,
Par Jab Bhi Lab Khule,
Dono Taraf Se Sirf Shikayate Aur Gile Hue,

Ek Umang Si Thi Dil Mein Ke Woh Hume Kabhi Gale Lagayenge,
Aaj Gale Lagaya Bhi To Usne Alwida Kehne Ke Liye,
Khoob Inaam Hai Hume Mohabbat Mein Mile Hue,

Kya Kahoon Apni Kismat Ke Baare Mein,Main "Khwaish",
Kaanto Se Bhar Gaye The Pair Mere,
Yeh Dekh Kar Pucha Har Shaks Ne,
Yeh Kaanto Ke Zakhm Pairo Par Kaise?
Jab Ki Teri Raahon Mein The Sirf Phool Hi Khile Hue,

"Khwaish" Ki Aankhon Mein Eh Dost,
Kabhi Utar Kar Dekhna Zara,
Toote Hue Sapne,Bikhre Hue Khwaishe,
Tadapte Hue Aansu Hi Milenge Tujhe,
In Aankhon Mein Dard Ke Saath Mile Hue,

Aur Kuch Na Keh Sakoonga Main Tujhe Eh Dost,
Aaj Likhte Hue Kalam Ne Bhi Mujhe Thaam Kar Kaha,
"Na Likh Ab Khwaish Apne Dard Ki Dastaan,
Dekh Tere Ashko Se Aaj Kaagaz Bhi Geele Hue"...
