jis shakhs ko saae ki hai aaj baDi chaahat — Akhtar Asif

aaina to 'aibon ki khabar detaa hai 'aasif'
khush-fahmi-e-insaan kaa magar koi kare kyaa

nahin hai mujh ko chaman se nikaalnaa aasaan
ba-shakl-e-rang rag-e-gul mein bas gayaa huun main

aaina sach boltaa hai aaina hai mo'tabar
sach ki 'aadat Daal tu bhi mo'tabar ho jaaegaa

main jiyun ehsaan biThaa kar vo bhi ik kam-zarf kaa
zindagi pyaari hai lekin is qadar pyaari nahin

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

tujh se kuchh aur ta'alluq bhi zaruri hai miraa
ye mohabbat to kisi vaqt bhi mar sakti hai

main ye chaahtaa huun ki umr-bhar rahe tishnagi mire ishq mein
koi justuju rahe darmiyaan tire saath bhi tire baa'd bhi

suraagh-e-mehr-o-mohabbat kaa DhunDiyo na kahin
ki un ki raakh havaa mein bikher aayaa main

pyaar se sarshaar karnaa pyaar se chhunaa mujhe
chaak-dil insaan Thahraa TuuTe pyaale ki tarah
