mire is avvalin ashk-e-mohabbat par nazar kar — Khursheed Rizvi

is e'tiraaf se ras ghul rahaa hai kaanon mein
vo e'tiraaf jo us ne abhi kiyaa bhi nahin

bas dariche se lage baiThe rahe ahl-e-safar
sabza jaltaa rahaa aur yaad-e-vatan aati rahi

maut ki ek alaamat hai agar dekhaa jaae
ruuh kaa chaar anaasir pe savaari karnaa

jo tamaam umr rahaa sabab ki talaash mein
vo tiri nigaah mein be-sabab nahin aa sakaa

ham teri tabiat ko 'khurshid' nahin samjhe
patthar nazar aataa thaa royaa to bahut royaa

jo shakhs na royaa thaa tapti hui raahon mein
divaar ke saae mein baiThaa to bahut royaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

gham-e-hasti bhalaa kab mo'tabar ho
mohabbat mein na jab tak aankh tar ho

ji chaahegaa jis ko use chaahaa na kareinge
ham ishq o havas ko kabhi yakjaa na kareinge

ishq ki duniyaa mein kyaa kyaa ham ko saughaatein milin
suuni subhein roti shaamein jaagti raatein milin

muddat se mohabbat ke safar mein huun 'karaamat'
lekin abhi chaahat ke nagar tak nahin pahunchaa
