Not Quite A Ghazal

kuch dil chaahata hai, aap ki ijaazat hoti
dum todate hue, ek pashemaani to kam hoti


[pashemaani:: Guilt, Remorse; ijaazat::permission, sanction]

yuhin hum na roye, teri yaad har ghadi thi
na ye kaash labz kaheta, gar tuhi saath hoti


[labz:: word; gar:: if]

shaadamaan hum bhi hote, tuzko bhula bhi dete
kabhi haan na kahena tha, woh na hi kahe deti


[shaadamaan:: content, happy]

insaaf bhi ye kaisa, ki tadapna hi zindagi hai
ek din to hai hi marna, muze roz kya padi thi


tuhi bata de asuph, ki kuch tuze khabar hai
aas ek hi thi agar to, fir umr itni kyun thi


[aas:: longing, desire; umr:: life-span, age]
