Kabhi Halaat Ki

Kabhi halaat ki gardish se ghabraaya nahin kartay
Hisaab-e-zindgaani sab ko samjhaaya nahin kartay

Bohot be-chain kar detay hain mustaqbil ke andeshay
Bohot se khaab hain taabeer jo paaya nahin kartay

Kheyaalon ke gulistaanon mein aati ha khizaa.n bar
Bohot se zakhm hain aisay jo dikhlaaya nahin kartay

Rivaaj-o-rasm ki bandish ujaalay cheen leti hai
Khalish dil mein ho sab ko batlaaya nahin kartay

Koi dil mein ho aur vo doosray ke dil ki dharkan ho
Muqaddar apna apna hai sabhi paaya nahin kartay

(I heard this as a title song, sung by Nayyara Noor, for a Pakistani drama named "Hijaab". Cast included Farhan Ali Agha, Azra Siddique and others. If you happen to know the name of the poet, or the full version, please let me know).
