mohabbat kaa un ko yaqin aa chalaa hai — Mahesh Chandra Naqsh

yuun guzarte hain hijr ke lamhe
jaise vo baat karte jaate hain

kis tarah karein tujh se gila tere sitam kaa
madhosh ishaaron ne bhi dil toD diyaa hai

tasvir-e-zindagi mein nayaa rang bhar gae
vo haadse jo dil pe hamaare guzar gae

is Dubte suraj se to ummid hi kyaa thi
hans hans ke sitaaron ne bhi dil toD diyaa hai

aghyaar kaa shikva nahin is ahd-e-havas mein
ik umr ke yaaron ne bhi dil toD diyaa hai

kaun samjhe ham pe kyaa guzri hai 'naqsh'
dil laraz uThtaa hai zikr-e-shaam se

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ai shauq pataa kuchh tu hi bataa ab tak ye karishma kuchh na khulaa
ham mein hai dil-e-betaab nihaan yaa aap dil-e-betaab hain ham

tere bimaar-e-mohabbat ki ye haalat pahunchi
ki haTaayaa gayaa takiya bhi sirhaane vaalaa

kitaab-e-ishq mein saae kaa matlab
dar-o-divaar kaa saaya nahin hai

dil to rotaa rahe aur aankh se aansu na bahe
ishq ki aisi rivaayaat ne dil toD diyaa
