chheDaa agar mire dil-e-naalaan ko aap ne — Asad Ali Khan Qalaq

ai be-khudi-e-dil mujhe ye bhi khabar nahin
kis din bahaar aai main divaana kab huaa

adaa se dekh lo jaataa rahe gila dil kaa
bas ik nigaah pe Thahraa hai faisla dil kaa

sindur us ki maang mein detaa hai yuun bahaar
jaise dhanak nikalti hai abr-e-siyaah mein

phir mujh se is tarah ki na kijegaa dil-lagi
khair is ghaDi to aap kaa main kar gayaa lihaaz

tilaai rang jaanaan kaa agar mazmun likhun khat mein
to haala gird harfon ke bane sone ke paani kaa

yuun ruuh thi adam mein miri bahr-e-tan udaas
ghurbat mein jis tarah ho gharib-ul-vatan udaas

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'anis' aasaan nahin aabaad karnaa ghar mohabbat kaa
ye un kaa kaam hai jo zindagi barbaad karte hain

jaan insaan ki lene vaalon mein
ek hai maut dusraa hai ishq

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

hazaaron ghar hue hain is se viraan
rahe aabaad sarkaar-e-mohabbat
