phir ahl-e-ishq ki takhliq hoti hai pahle — Anis Abr

maut ki aarzu mein divaane
umr-bhar zindagi se laDte hain

main muskuraataa magar di na ashk ne mohlat
khushi jab ek mili saath gham hazaar mile

'abr' duniyaa ko chhoD jaane kaa
ik bahaana talaash karnaa hai

lafz yuun khaamushi se laDte hain
jis tarah gham hansi se laDte hain

tujh pe jami hain sab ki nazrein
teri nazar mein kaun rahegaa

aaj insaan ko tapte sahraa mein
bahtaa dariyaa talaash karnaa hai

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

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

jin se afsaana-e-hasti mein tasalsul thaa kabhi
un mohabbat ki rivaayaat ne dam toD diyaa
