har tarah ham dil-e-naa-fahm ko samjhaa leinge — Imdad Ali Bahr

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

na mohabbat hai dilon mein na hayaa aankhon mein
ye sanam tu ne banaae hain khudaayaa kaise

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa
