us ko bhaDkaao na daaman ki havaaein de kar — Akhtar Muslimi

dehaat ke basne vaale to ikhlaas ke paikar hote hain
ai kaash nai tahzib ki rau shahron se na aati gaanv mein

mire dil pe haath rakh kar mujhe dene vaale taskin
kahin dil ki dhaDkanon se tujhe choT aa na jaae

ek hi anjaam hai ai dost husn o ishq kaa
shama bhi bujhti hai parvaanon ke jal jaane ke baad

fareb-khurda hai itnaa ki mere dil ko abhi
tum aa chuke ho magar intizaar baaqi hai

mere kirdaar mein muzmar hai tumhaaraa kirdaar
dekh kar kyuun miri tasvir khafaa ho tum log

di us ne mujh ko jurm-e-mohabbat ki vo sazaa
kuchh be-qusur log sazaa maangne lage

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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