miTTi ki mohabbat mein ham aashufta-saron ne — Iftikhar Arif

main zindagi ki duaa maangne lagaa huun bahut
jo ho sake to duaaon ko be-asar kar de

hamin mein rahte hain vo log bhi ki jin ke sabab
zamin buland hui aasmaan ke hote hue

dayaar-e-nur mein tira-shabon kaa saathi ho
koi to ho jo miri vahshaton kaa saathi ho

main chup rahaa ki vazaahat se baat baDh jaati
hazaar sheva-e-husn-e-bayaan ke hote hue

subh savere ran paDnaa hai aur ghamsaan kaa ran
raaton raat chalaa jaae jis ko jaanaa hai

raas aane lagi duniyaa to kahaa dil ne ki jaa
ab tujhe dard ki daulat nahin milne vaali

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kaar-e-duniyaa ko bhi kaar-e-ishq mein shaamil samajh
is liye ai zindagi teri pata rakhtaa huun main

ki mohabbat to siyaasat kaa chalan chhoD diyaa
ham agar ishq na karte to hukumat karte

ishq khud apni jagah mazhar-e-anvaar-e-khudaa
aql is soch mein gum kis ko khudaa kahte hain

imaarat dair o masjid ki bani hai iinT o patthar se
dil-e-viraana ki kis chiiz se taamir hoti hai
