dil bhi toDaa to saliqe se na toDaa tum ne — Mahtab Alam

ye san kar meri nindein uD gai hain
koi meraa bhi sapnaa dekhtaa hai

aansuon ke jahaan mein rahte hain
ham isi kahkashaan mein rahte hain

zehn aise bhi na ban jaaein nisaabon vaale
guftugu mein bhi huun alfaaz kitaabon vaale

ik safar phir mari taqdir huaa jaataa hai
raasta paanv ki zanjir huaa jaataa hai

naaqido tum to mire fan ki parakh rahne do
apne sone ko main pital nahin hone dungaa

bane hain kitne chehre chaand suraj
ghazal ke istiaaraati ufuq par

vo mujhe pyaar se dekhe bhi to phir kyaa hogaa
mujh mein itni bhi sakat kab hai ki dhokaa khaaun

dhokaa na khaao chaaraagaro vaaqiaat se
pahlu mein dil nahin hai to kyaa dard bhi nahin

tu aur chashm-e-lutf nai vaardaat hai
meri nigaah ne mujhe dhokaa diyaa na ho

ham ne aalam se bevafaai ki
ek maashuq-e-bevafaa ke liye

ye bhi fareb se hain kuchh dard aashiqi ke
ham mar ke kyaa kareinge kyaa kar liyaa hai ji ke

aashiqi mein bahut zaruri hai
bevafaai kabhi kabhi karnaa
