ishq-e-butaan kaa le ke sahaaraa kabhi kabhi — Arsh Malsiyani

jitni vo mire haal pe karte hain jafaaein
aataa hai mujhe un ki mohabbat kaa yaqin aur

mohabbat soz bhi hai saaz bhi hai
khamoshi bhi hai ye aavaaz bhi hai

maut hi insaan ki dushman nahin
zindagi bhi jaan le kar jaaegi

ik raushni si dil mein thi vo bhi nahin rahi
vo kyaa gae charaagh-e-tamannaa bujhaa gae

khushk baaton mein kahaan hai shaikh kaif-e-zindagi
vo to pi kar hi milegaa jo mazaa piine mein hai

saaqi miri khamosh-mizaaji ki laaj rakh
iqraar gar nahin hai to inkaar bhi nahin

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

us ne puchhaa hai kyaa mohabbat hai
ab bhalaa kyaa javaab duun us ko

ye zakhm-e-ishq hai koshish karo haraa hi rahe
kasak to jaa na sakegi agar ye bhar bhi gayaa

naa-shanaasaan-e-mohabbat kaa gila kyaa ki yahaan
ajnabi vo hain ki thi jin se shanaasaai bhi
