jin dinon 'ishq nahin hotaa thaa — Aqeel Abbas

jaane is vaqt kahaan phone paDaa ho us kaa
jaane is vaqt vo kis shakhs ki aaghosh mein ho

sipah-gari kaa hunar bhi sukhan-vari bhi ho
main chaahtaa huun ki lashkar bhi ho pari bhi ho

ek bosa udhaar hai tum par
aur chaae bhi tez patti ki

khudaa ko khat likhungaa khud-kushi kaa
likhungaa main resign kar rahaa huun

safar nigal gae ham ko vagarna ham ne bhi
kahin pahunch ke kisi ko gale lagaanaa thaa

lams-e-husn-e-'ajib ki khvaahish
sar uThaati thi maar di main ne

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

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

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht
