alvidaa'i shaam aa pahunchi yahaan — Anjum Farooq

'ishq vaqt-e-digar pe kyon chhoDein
ye tire baa'd ho nahin saktaa

ab tiraa rasta judaa meraa judaa
dekh qismat kaa likhaa hote hue

saahabo main ne taraashe nahin patthar ke sanam
mere haathon se banaa aur banaa ek hi shakhs

jahaan tak ho sake khud ko bachaa badnaam hone se
mohabbat khatm hoti hai mohabbat 'aam hone se

bahut achchhaa bahut achchhaa bahut achchhaa hai tu lekin
tujhe koi kahe achchhaa mujhe achchhaa nahin lagtaa

is liye kashkol mein paDti hai bhiik
ham ne hai laaThi se laTkaayaa huaa

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

mar gae pyaas ke maare to uThaa abr-e-karam
bujh gai bazm to ab shama jalaataa kyaa hai
