qasam uThaai hai siina hi noch Daaleinge — Amaan Haider

ye ashk palkon pe Thahrein to aisaa lagtaa hai
kisi makaan ki dahliz par diye rakhe hain

hamesha she'r kahne ki mashaqqat karni paDti hai
asiraan-e-sukhan kis ne kahaa aazaad hote hain

haalaat chaahe jo bhi hon dil to baDaa rakho
ye vaqt kaT hi jaaegaa tum hausla rakho

jaan se baDh ke huaa karti hai 'izzat pyaare
sar diyaa jaataa hai dastaar bachaane ke liye

talab nahin hai hamein dusri mohabbat ki
'amaan' chaae dubaara zarur chaahte hain

ai maahtaabo ujaalon ki bhiik le jaao
hamaare paanv ke chhaalon ki aaftaabi se

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ye ishq ne dekhaa hai ye aql se pinhaan hai
qatre mein samundar hai zarre mein bayaabaan hai

kyaa kyaa hain dard-e-ishq ki fitna-taraaziyaan
ham iltifaat-e-khaas se bhi bad-gumaan rahe

ishq ki betaabiyon par husn ko rahm aa gayaa
jab nigaah-e-shauq taDpi parda-e-mahmil na thaa
