Kharaab Haal Poem by Suhail Kakorvi

Wo haal ab nahin jo aalame shabaab men tha
wo aadmi to haseenon ke intikhaab men tha

Use jo dekha to ibrat hui nazar ko meri
Wo mere dil men na tha ab to wo azaab men tha

Shikaar raat ki sazish ka ho gaya hai wahi
Basera jiska balandeeye aaftaab me tha

Zamana tauba kare aap ko jo dekhe hai
Bahot ghuroor mujhe yaad hai janaab men tha

Isi liye to kabhi pyaas uski bujh na saki
Bharosa uska bhatakta hua saraab men tha

Hawaszadah tha isi se to ghamzadah wo raha
Ilaaj uska kahan nashhaye sharaab men tha

Wo mehrba'n nazar aya, haqeeqaten thin alag
Yaqeen mujhko hua tha magar wo khwaab men tha

Suhail mujhko taras uske haal par aya
Wo beqaraar tha aur haale iztiraab men tha
