suno ki ab ham gulaab deinge gulaab leinge — Jawayd Anwar

be-tuki raushni mein paraae andhere liye
ek manzar hai tere liye ek mere liye

ajab khvaabon se meraa raabta rakkhaa gayaa
mujhe soe-huon mein jaagtaa rakkhaa gayaa

har ek had se pare apnaa boriyaa le jaa
badi kaa naam na le aur nekiyon se nikal

jo din chaDhaa to hamein niind ki zarurat thi
sahar ki aas mein ham log raat bhar jaage

koi kahaani koi vaaqia sunaa to sahi
agar hansaa nahin saktaa mujhe rulaa to sahi

nikal gulaab ki muTThi se aur khushbu ban
main bhaagtaa huun tire pichhe aur tu jugnu ban

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

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

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

ab ki jo raah-e-mohabbat mein uThaai taklif
sakht hoti hamein manzil kabhi aisi to na thi
