kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein — Meer Mehdi Majrooh

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

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

aa hi kuudaa thaa dair mein vaaiz
ham ne Taalaa khudaa khudaa kar ke

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

tiri mohabbat mein gumrahi kaa ajab nasha thaa
ki tujh tak aate hue khudaa tak pahunch gae hain

ishq kaa tiir dil mein laagaa hai
dard jo hovtaa thaa bhaagaa hai

hai ab is maamure mein qaht-e-gham-e-ulfat 'asad'
ham ne ye maanaa ki dilli mein rahein khaaveinge kyaa
