sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe — Imdad Ali Bahr

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

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

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

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

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

qaazi ko jo rind kuchh chaTaa dein
masjid ki baghal mein mai-kada ho

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat aise ki 'bedaar' sakht mushkil hai
jo apni jaan se guzre vo us ki chaah kare

har ek baar vafaaon pe zarb lagti hai
har ek baar miraa pyaar haar jaataa hai

dil ki zamin par miri 'ishq hai dasht-e-daaimi
hijr-o-visaal sab ke sab mausamiyaati haadse

ham aur farhaad bahr-e-ishq mein baaham hi kuude the
jo us ke sar se guzraa aab meri taa-kamar aayaa
