kisi fard-e-mohabbat se bhalaa ummid kyaa rakhnaa — Faisal Fehmi

yahi sab log hain in sab ne miraa qatl kiyaa
ye miri qabr ko phulon se sajaane vaale

pahle tamaam shahr ko sahraa banaaeinge
phir vahshaton ki ret pe soyaa kareinge ham

taa-umr tifl-e-dil pe yatimi kaa karb thaa
koshish to ki magar main kabhi maan na ban sakaa

main apne aap kaa sab se baDaa mukhaalif huun
miri hi tarah kaa ik shakhs aur hai mujh mein

taarik saraabon ki chakaa-chaund mein gum-sum
thaa sakht musalmaan main imaan se pahle

bahtaa rahaa main saahil-e-duniyaa ki ret par
aakhir badan ki khaak sameTi to ghar gayaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mujhe to ishq hai phulon mein sirf khushbu se
bulaa rahi hai kisi laala ki mahak mujh ko

khvaab dekhaa thaa mohabbat kaa mohabbat ki qasam
phir isi khvaab ki taabir mein masruf thaa main

mohabbat ki to koi had, koi sarhad nahin hoti
hamaare darmiyaan ye faasle, kaise nikal aae

vasl hai un ki adaa hijr hai un kaa andaaz
kaun saa rang bharun ishq ke afsaanon mein
