sar mein saudaa bhi nahin dil mein tamannaa bhi nahin — Firaq Gorakhpuri

chhuT ke ghar aa gae asiir tire
lekin ab in ko kaun pahchaane

kam se kam maut se aisi mujhe ummid nahin
zindagi tu ne to dhoke pe diyaa hai dhoka

bahut dinon mein mohabbat ko ye huaa maalum
jo tere hijr mein guzri vo raat raat hui

kisi kaa yuun to huaa kaun umr bhar phir bhi
ye husn o ishq to dhokaa hai sab magar phir bhi

jo uljhi thi kabhi aadam ke haathon
vo gutthi aaj tak suljhaa rahaa huun

main muddaton jiyaa huun kisi dost ke baghair
ab tum bhi saath chhoDne ko kah rahe ho khair

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

yuun mohabbat se jo chaahe koi apnaa kar le
jo hamaaraa na ho us ke kahin ham hote hain

tire ishq ki intihaa chaahtaa huun
miri saadgi dekh kyaa chaahtaa huun
