tum ko paanaa nahin miraa maqsad — Meem Maroof Ashraf

kisi ke yaad karne kaa agar hoti sabab hichki
miraa mahbub ho kar ke pareshaan mar gayaa hotaa

sochtaa huun kyaa miraa bantaa khudaa ke saamne
gar na hotaa yaa-rasulullah sahaaraa aap kaa

bahut aasaan lafzon mein ye us ne kah diyaa ham se
nahin tum se mohabbat jaao jo karnaa hai so kar lo

jab bhi chumaa hai tire honTon ko
jism se un ko judaa jaanaa hai

abhi to aur baDhegi ye tishnagi dil ki
abhi to aur bhi zyaada vo yaad aaeinge

main tum se duur rah kar kis tarah ye tum ko samjhaaun
ki mujh se duur rah kar kis qadar ho tum akeli

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
