musibat sar pe munh baae khaDi hai — Chandrakant Rawat

kaam ko imaan se anjaam detaa chal bashar
jaane kis surat mein teraa mehnataana aaegaa

tar-ba-tar ho kar rahein taa-zindagi
ai ghaTaa ik roz ham par yuun baras

ai mire dost ek muddat se
chaand dekhaa nahin teri chhat se

apni samjhe the magar nikli paraai zindagi
jaane kis miTTi ki thi qaabu na aai zindagi

vo zulfein vo nazrein vo jumbish labon ki
vo sab un ke hathiyaar kaam aa rahe hain

mohabbat chaahiye to kar mohabbat
mohabbat dar mohabbat dar mohabbat

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dekh ye jazb-e-mohabbat kaa karishma to nahin
kal jo tere dil mein thaa vo aaj mere dil mein hai

ik adaavat se faraaghat nahin milti varna
kaun kahtaa hai mohabbat nahin kar sakte ham

tere bimaar-e-mohabbat ki ye haalat pahunchi
ki haTaayaa gayaa takiya bhi sirhaane vaalaa

kitaab-e-ishq mein saae kaa matlab
dar-o-divaar kaa saaya nahin hai
