Hangama-e-afat Idhar Bhi Hai Udhar Bhi

hangama-e-afat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

barbaadi-e-haalat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

honTon pe tabassum kabhi palkon pe sitare

ye dil ki karamat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

bechain agar main hun to wo bhi hain pareshan

dar-parda koi baat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

aashuftagi-e-qalb-o-nazar chhup na sakegi

ek mahshar-e-jazbaat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

har chand takalluf hai mulaqat mein lekin

arman-e-mulaqat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

mujrim kise gardaniye kahiye kise masum

ek sail-e-shikayat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

kyunkar kabhi niklegi koi sulh ki surat

ek talKHi-e-jazbaat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

un ko bhi koi ranj hai mujh ko bhi koi gham

ek fikr si din raat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

afsos bhari bazm mein bhi mil nahin sakte

kuchh pas-e-riwayat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

jo tark-e-talluq pe bhi jati nahin dil se

wo dil ki lagi baat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

nale bhi sharar-bar hain naghme bhi sharar-bar

ek aatish-e-jazbaat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

'aKHgar' hi ka daman nahin namnak shab-e-gham

aankhon ki ye barsat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi
