mujhe dushman se apne ishq saa hai — Baqar Mehdi

is shahr mein hai kaun hamaaraa tire sivaa
ye kyaa ki tu bhi apnaa kabhi ham-navaa na ho

jaane kin mushkilon se jiite hain
kyaa karein koi mehrbaan na rahaa

ham milein yaa na milein phir bhi kabhi khvaabon mein
muskuraati hui aaeingi hamaari baatein

jaane kyuun un se milte rahte hain
khush vo kyaa honge jab khafaa hi nahin

aisi begaanagi nahin dekhi
ab kisi kaa koi yahaan na rahaa

sailaab-e-zindagi ke sahaare baDhe chalo
saahil pe rahne vaalon kaa naam-o-nishaan nahin

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

naam ko bhi na kisi aankh se aansu niklaa
shama mahfil mein jalaati rahi parvaane ko

kaanp uThti huun main ye soch ke tanhaai mein
mere chehre pe tiraa naam na paDh le koi

bhiiD ke khauf se phir ghar ki taraf lauT aayaa
ghar se jab shahr mein tanhaai ke Dar se niklaa
