maangti hai ab mohabbat apne hone kaa subut — Alam Khursheed

kabhi kabhi kitnaa nuqsaan uThaanaa paDtaa hai
airon ghairon kaa ehsaan uThaanaa paDtaa hai

kisi ke raste pe kaise nazrein jamaae rakkhun
abhi to karnaa mujhe hai khud intizaar meraa

tamaam rang adhure lage tire aage
so tujh ko lafz mein tasvir kartaa rahtaa huun

tahzib ki zanjir se uljhaa rahaa main bhi
tu bhi na baDhaa jism ke aadaab se aage

kisi ko DhunDte hain ham kisi ke paikar mein
kisi kaa chehra kisi se milaate rahte hain

ishq mein tahzib ke hain aur hi kuchh falsafe
tujh se ho kar ham khafaa khud se khafaa rahne lage

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

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

sulh-e-kul mein miri guzre hai mohabbat ke biich
na to takraar hai kaafir se na din-daar se bahs
