kyaa jaane kyaa sabab hai ki ji chaahtaa hai aaj — Hafeez Merathi

haae vo naghma jis kaa mughanni
gaataa jaae rotaa jaae

shisha TuuTe ghul mach jaae
dil TuuTe aavaaz na aae

vo vaqt kaa jahaaz thaa kartaa lihaaz kyaa
main doston se haath milaane mein rah gayaa

raat ko raat kah diyaa main ne
sunte hi baukhlaa gai duniyaa

ik ajnabi ke haath mein de kar hamaaraa haath
lo saath chhoDne lagaa aakhir ye saal bhi

abhi se hosh uDe maslahat-paraston ke
abhi main bazm mein aayaa abhi kahaan bolaa

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

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai
