jo ahl-e-‘ishq hain dete hain zor burger par — Badr Muneer

muskuraa kar agar vo dekhe to
aaine par nishaan paD jaae

kunj-e-hairat se chale dasht-e-ziyaan tak laae
kaun laa saktaa hai ham dil ko jahaan tak laae

ek ummid ke sahaare par
kitni taakhir dekh lete hain

kyaa khabar kaun saa rasta tiri jaanib nikle
be-iraada bhi kai baar safar karte hain

laD rahaa huun main akelaa kaar-zaar-e-hast mein
kar faraaham tu bhi zaalim apne hone kaa javaaz

paD jaate hain kitne chhaale haathon mein
aate hain phir chand nivaale haathon mein

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

jis ghaDi ghurte ho ghussa se
nikle paDtaa hai pyaar aankhon mein

idhar aa ham dikhaate hain ghazal kaa aaina tujh ko
ye kis ne kah diyaa gesu tire barham nahin pyaare

phir vahi ham the vahi tum the mohabbat the vahi
sulh kar lete agar aankhein laDaane ke liye
