mujh ko dushman ke iraadon pe bhi pyaar aataa hai — Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi

aaghosh mein mahkoge dikhaai nahin doge
tum nikhat-e-gulzaar ho ham parda-e-shab hain

gham-e-jaanaan gham-e-dauraan ki taraf yuun aayaa
jaanib shahar chale dukhtar-e-dahqaan jaise

zindagi shama ki maanind jalaataa huun 'nadim'
bujh to jaaungaa magar subah to kar jaaungaa

kis tavaqqoa pe kisi ko dekhein
koi tum se bhi hasin kyaa hogaa

ik safina hai tiri yaad agar
ik samundar hai miri tanhaai

aakhir duaa karein bhi to kis muddaaa ke saath
kaise zamin ki baat kahein aasmaan se ham

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq mein ain hunar-mandi hai
sab jise be-hunari kahte hain

'yagaanaa' vahi faateh-e-lakhknau hain
dil-e-sang-o-aahan mein ghar karne vaale

sard-mehri se tiri garmi-e-ulfat na rahi
dil mein uThtaa thaa jo har-dam vo sharaara bhi gayaa

phir nahin mere sivaa koi bhi hotaa teraa
tu agar jaan ye jaataa ki mohabbat kyaa hai
