jaan insaan ki lene vaalon mein — Meer Mehdi Majrooh

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

shaghl-e-ulfat ko jo ahbaab buraa kahte hain
kuchh samajh mein nahin aataa ki ye kyaa kahte hain

itnaa mardud huun ki Dar hai mujhe
qabr se pheink de zamin na kahin

apni kashti kaa hai khudaa haafiz
pichhe tufaan hai saamne girdaab

kyuun paas mire aa kar yuun baiThe ho munh phere
kyaa lab tire misri hain main jin ko chabaa jaataa

churaa ke muTThi mein dil ko chhupaae baiThe hain
bahaanaa ye hai ki mehndi lagaae baiThe hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

zindagi ho miri netaaon ki surat yaa-rab
ho faqat apni gharaz se hi mohabbat yaa-rab

husn ko sharmsaar karnaa hi
ishq kaa intiqaam hotaa hai

kamaal-e-ishq hai divaana ho gayaa huun main
ye kis ke haath se daaman chhuDaa rahaa huun main

khuub pahchaan lo asraar huun main
jins-e-ulfat kaa talabgaar huun main
