dohraai jaa sakegi na ab daastaan-e-ishq — Bismil Saeedi

husn bhi kambakht kab khaali hai soz-e-ishq se
shama bhi to raat bhar jalti hai parvaane ke saath

tum jab aate ho to jaane ke liye aate ho
ab jo aa kar tumhein jaanaa ho to aanaa bhi nahin

sukun nasib huaa ho kabhi jo tere baghair
khudaa kare ki mujhe tu kabhi nasib na ho

ro rahaa huun aaj main saare jahaan ke saamne
roegaa kal dekhnaa saaraa jahaan mere liye

kisi ke sitam is qadar yaad aae
zabaan thak gai mehrbaan kahte kahte

kaabe mein musalmaan ko kah dete hain kaafir
but-khaane mein kaafir ko bhi kaafar nahin kahte

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain

mushkil-e-ishq mein laazim hai tahammul 'saaqib'
baat bigDi hui banti nahin ghabraane se

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa
