tiraa bakhshaa huaa ik zakhm pyaare — Khurshid Rabbani

dekh kar bhi na dekhnaa us kaa
ye adaa to buton mein hoti hai

kisi ne meri taraf dekhnaa na thaa 'khurshid'
to be-sabab hi sanvaaraa gayaa thaa kyuun mujh ko

koi nahin jo miTaae miri siyah-bakhti
falak pe kitne sitaare hain jagmagaae hue

havaa-e-taaza kaa jhonkaa idhar se kyaa guzraa
gire paDe hue patton mein jaan aa gai hai

kis ki khaatir ujaaD raste par
phuul le kar shajar khaDaa huaa thaa

khvaabon ki main ne ek imaarat banaai aur
yaadon kaa us mein ek daricha banaa liyaa

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'zarif' anjaam kyaa hogaa jo meraa dil bhi kho jaae
kahin aisaa na ho, mujh ko bhi filmi ishq ho jaae
