shorish-e-ishq mein hai husn baraabar kaa sharik — Ehsan Danish Kandhlvi

kuchh log jo savaar hain kaaghaz ki naav par
tohmat taraashte hain havaa ke dabaav par

tum saada-mizaaji se miTe phirte ho jis par
vo shakhs to duniyaa mein kisi kaa bhi nahin hai

main hairaan huun ki kyuun us se hui thi dosti apni
mujhe kaise gavaara ho gai thi dushmani apni

log yuun dekh ke hans dete hain
tu mujhe bhuul gayaa ho jaise

ham chaTaanein hain koi ret ke saahil to nahi
shauq se shahr-panaahon mein lagaa do ham ko

kis kis ki zabaan rokne jaaun tiri khaatir
kis kis ki tabaahi mein tiraa haath nahin hai

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa
