is shokhi-e-guftaar par aataa hai bahut pyaar — Iftikhar Raghib

inkaar hi kar dijiye iqraar nahin to
uljhan hi mein mar jaaegaa bimaar nahin to

'raaghib' vo meri fikr mein khud ko bhi bhuul jaaein
aisi to koi baat nahin chaahtaa thaa main

ji chaahtaa hai jiinaa jazbaat ke mutaabiq
haalaat kar rahe hain haalaat ke mutaabiq

din mein aane lage hain khvaab mujhe
us ne bhejaa hai ik gulaab mujhe

le jaae jahaan chaahe havaa ham ko uDaa kar
TuuTe hue patton ki hikaayat hi alag hai

paDhtaa rahtaa huun aap kaa chehra
achchhi lagti hai ye kitaab mujhe

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

mushkil-e-ishq mein laazim hai tahammul 'saaqib'
baat bigDi hui banti nahin ghabraane se

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