shauq hai is dil-e-darinda ko — Jaun Elia

ek hi to havas rahi hai hamein
apni haalat tabaah ki jaae

aaj bahut din baa'd main apne kamre tak aa niklaa thaa
juun hi darvaaza kholaa hai us ki khushbu aai hai

shishe ke is taraf se main sab ko tak rahaa huun
marne ki bhi kisi ko fursat nahin hai mujh mein

main ab har shakhs se uktaa chukaa huun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kyaa

vo jo na aane vaalaa hai naa us se mujh ko matlab thaa
aane vaalon se kyaa matlab aate hain aate honge

bahut nazdik aati jaa rahi ho
bichhaDne kaa iraada kar liyaa kyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ye moajiza hai mohabbat mein surkh-rui kaa
bhare jahaan mein mujh be-hunar ke charche hain

rahne de apni bandagi zaahid
be-mohabbat khudaa nahin miltaa

ham sanam dam tire ishq kaa bhar gae
jal gae bhun gae kaT gae mar gae

kuchh der to is aql ko aaraam diyaa jaae
ai ishq tujhe aaj koi kaam diyaa jaae
