khat-e-shikasta mein kyaa jaane kab kashid aa jaae — Kamran Nafees

dil dhaDakne kaa sabab zindagi ho sakti hai
ye zaruri to nahin hai ki tiri yaad hi ho

kal dopahar ko saath rahaa thaa vo der tak
phir us ke baa'd shaam rahi shaam hi rahi

hamaare chaak-e-garebaan kaa taar thaa ye kabhi
ye jis pharere ko nikle hain aap lahraane

ek hi dar thaa gali mein vo bhi darvaaza huaa
jab se har aavaaz par be-kaar mein khulne lagaa

vo ik aavaaz thi manzil nahin thi
magar main us ki jaanib chal paDaa thaa

aa jaati hain kuchh khushiyaan andeshon mein
kuchh andeshe khushiyon mein aa jaate hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat ne akelaa kar diyaa hai
main apni zaat mein ik qaafila thaa

dil mubtalaa-e-hijr rifaaqat mein rah gayaa
lagtaa hai koi farq mohabbat mein rah gayaa

kaun si baat nai ai dil-e-naakaam hui
shaam se subh hui subh se phir shaam hui

main hairat o hasrat kaa maaraa khaamosh khaDaa huun saahil par
dariyaa-e-mohabbat kahtaa hai aa kuchh bhi nahin paayaab hain ham
