mohabbaton ke kai rang ruup hote hain — 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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dilkashi thi unsiyat thi yaa mohabbat yaa junun
sab maraahil tujh se jo mansub the achchhe lage

pyaar kaa donon pe aakhir jurm saabit ho gayaa
ye farishte aaj jannat se nikaale jaaeinge

ishq sunte the jise ham vo yahi hai shaayad
khud-bakhud dil mein hai ik shakhs samaayaa jaataa

taazir-e-jurm-e-ishq hai be-sarfa mohtasib
baDhtaa hai aur zauq-e-gunah yaan sazaa ke baad
