agar apne dil-e-betaab ko samjhaa liyaa main ne — Mahshar Inayati

main divaana sahi lekin vo khush-qismat huun ai 'mahshar'
ki duniyaa ki zabaan par aa gayaa hai aaj naam apnaa

un kaa gham un kaa tasavvur un ki yaad
kaT rahi hai zindagi aaraam se

chale bhi aao mire jite-ji ab itnaa bhi
na intizaar baDhaao ki niind aa jaae

har ek baat zabaan se kahi nahin jaati
jo chupke baiThe hain kuchh un ki baat bhi samjho

kisi ki bazm ke haalaat ne samjhaa diyaa mujh ko
ki jab saaqi nahin apnaa to mai apni na jaam apnaa

qasam jab us ne khaai ham ne e'tibaar kar liyaa
zaraa si der zindagi ko khush-gavaar kar 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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dil mein na ho jurat to mohabbat nahin milti
khairaat mein itni baDi daulat nahin milti

dosti ishq aur vafaadaari
sakht jaan mein bhi narm goshe hain

kaf-e-afsos malne se bhalaa ab faaeda kyaa hai
dil-e-raahat-talab kyuun ham na kahte the ye duniyaa hai
