ishq paaband-e-vafaa hai na ki paaband-e-rusum — Aasi Uldani

sabr par dil ko to aamaada kiyaa hai lekin
hosh uD jaate hain ab bhi tiri aavaaz ke saath

apni haalat kaa khud ehsaas nahin hai mujh ko
main ne auron se sunaa hai ki pareshaan huun main

kahte hain ki ummid pe jiitaa hai zamaana
vo kyaa kare jis ko koi ummid nahin ho

betaab saa phirtaa hai kai roz se 'aasi'
bechaare ne phir tum ko kahin dekh liyaa hai

jahaan apnaa qissa sunaanaa paDaa
vahin ham ko ronaa rulaanaa paDaa

murattab kar gayaa ik ishq kaa qaanun duniyaa mein
vo divaane hain jo majnun ko divaana bataate hain

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

main kyaa kahun kahaan hai mohabbat kahaan nahin
rag rag mein dauDi phirti hai nashtar liye hue
