jaam-e-ishq pi chuke zindagi bhi ji chuke — Hilal Fareed

miri daastaan bhi ajiib hai vo qadam qadam mire saath thaa
jise raaz-e-dil na bataa sakaa jise daagh-e-dil na dikhaa sakaa

ham khud bhi hue naadim jab harf-e-duaa niklaa
samjhe the jise patthar vo shakhs khudaa niklaa

paani pe bante aks ki maanind huun magar
aankhon mein koi bhar le to miTtaa nahin huun main

us ajnabi se vaasta zarur thaa koi
vo jab kabhi milaa to bas miraa lagaa mujhe

aaj na ham se puchhiye kaisaa kamaal ho gayaa
hijr ke khauf mein rahe aur visaal ho gayaa

is aql ki maari nagri mein kabhi paani aag nahin bantaa
yahaan ishq bhi log nahin karte yahaan koi kamaal nahin hotaa

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat ne 'maail' kiyaa har kisi ko
kisi par kisi ko kisi par kisi ko

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa
