ye mohabbat bhi ek neki hai — Inam Nadeem

bujh jaaegaa ik roz tiri yaad kaa shola
lekin mire siine mein dhuaan yuun hi rahegaa

apni hi ravaani mein bahtaa nazar aataa hai
ye shahr bulandi se dariyaa nazar aataa hai

jiye garche isi duniyaa mein ham bhi
magar duniyaa hamaari aur hi thi

pukaarte the mujhe aasmaan magar main ne
qayaam karne ko ye khaak-daan pasand kiyaa

ek lamha lauT kar aayaa nahin
ye baras bhi raaegaan rukhsat huaa

ham Thahre raheinge kisi taabir ko thaame
aankhon mein koi khvaab ravaan yuun hi rahegaa

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

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

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

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

gar nahin ye 'ishq to phir aur kyaa shai hai bhalaa
jo pas-e-parda rahe aur qalb meraa khaae hai
