baaz chehre bahut hasin sahi — Asifa Nishat

vo mere khvaab le ke sirhaane khaDaa rahaa
main so rahi thi us ne jagaayaa nahin mujhe

daryaaft kar liyaa hai basaayaa nahin mujhe
saamaan rakh diyaa hai sajaayaa nahin mujhe

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

jab chaahaa iqraar kiyaa hai jab chaahaa inkaar kiyaa
dekho ham ne khud hi se ye kaisaa anokhaa pyaar kiyaa

ilaahi tu bhi pyaaraa but bhi pyaaraa phir sunun kis ki
idhar kuchh shaikh kahtaa hai aur us jaanib barahman bhi

hindostaan mein dhuum hai kis ki zabaan ki
vo kaun hai 'riyaaz' ko jo jaantaa nahin

suntaa rahtaa huun to vo kuchh bhi kahe jaataa hai
us ko lagtaa hai ki me'yaar yahi hai apnaa

mujhe rahnaa thaa tiri aankh mein aansu ki tarah
main to naakaam huun ai dost sitaara ban kar
