zabaan pe naam-e-mohabbat bhi jurm thaa yaani — Maikash Akbarabadi

tiri zulfon ko kyaa suljhaaun ai dost
miri raahon mein pech-o-kham bahut hain

kuchh is tarah tiri ulfat mein kaaT di main ne
gunaahgaar huaa aur na paak-baaz rahaa

mire fusun ne dikhaai hai tere rukh ki sahar
mire junun ne banaai hai tere zulf ki shaam

pahunch hi jaaegaa ye haath teri zulfon tak
yunhi junun kaa agar silsila daraaz rahaa

ye maslak apnaa apnaa hai ye fitrat apni apni hai
jalaao aashiyaan tum ham kareinge aashiyaan paidaa

aap ki meri kahaani ek hai
kahiye ab main kyaa sunaaun kyaa sunun

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa
