Zain Ali Asif

jab yaad men taDpen to mohabbat ko baDha den
khud dard-e-mohabbat ki masiha.i mohabbat

tiri yadon ke sahra men sanam kya kya nahin hota
jahan ho tishnagi ka gham vahan dariya nahin hota

jo dasht ke ghubar men gum-sum rahe unhen
qissa samundaron ka sunana fuzul hai

ru-ba-ru hote hi jo soz-e-nihan kar de 'ayan
har kisi aankh men kab itna hunar hota hai

har she'r mujh ko khun-e-jigar ke 'evaz mila
ye fan kisi ke dar se udhara nahin mila

ru-ba-ru hote hi jo soz-e-nihaan kar de 'ayaan
har kisi aankh mein kab itnaa hunar hotaa hai

jab yaad mein taDpein to mohabbat ko baDhaa dein
khud dard-e-mohabbat ki masihaai mohabbat

tiri yaadon ke sahraa mein sanam kyaa kyaa nahin hotaa
jahaan ho tishnagi kaa gham vahaan dariyaa nahin hotaa

jo dasht ke ghubaar mein gum-sum rahe unhein
qissa samundaron kaa sunaanaa fuzul hai

har she'r mujh ko khun-e-jigar ke 'evaz milaa
ye fan kisi ke dar se udhaaraa nahin milaa
