baad-e-nafrat phir mohabbat ko zabaan darkaar hai — Mohammad Yaqoob Aamir

na samjhe ashk-fishaani ko koi maayusi
hai dil mein aag agar aankh mein bhi paani hai

main aaj kal ke tasavvur se shaad-kaam to huun
ye aur baat ki do pal ki zindagaani hai

dhire dhire sar mein aa kar bhar gayaa barson kaa shor
rafta rafta aarzu-e-dil dhuaan hone lagi

har nayaa rasta nikaltaa hai jo manzil ke liye
ham se kahtaa hai puraani rahguzar kuchh bhi nahin

mujhe bhi khud na thaa ehsaas apne hone kaa
tiri nigaah mein apnaa maqaam khone tak

sar ke niche iinT rakh kar umr bhar soyaa hai tu
aakhiri bistar bhi 'aamir' teraa farsh-e-khaak thaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

thaa muqaddam ishq-e-but islaam par tifli mein bhi
yaa sanam kah kar paDhaa maktab mein bismillaah ko

ishq kuchh aap pe mauquf nahin khush rahiye
ek se ek zamaane mein tarahdaar bahut

rindaan-e-ishq chhuT gae mazhab ki qaid se
ghanTa rahaa gale mein na zunnaar rah gayaa

manzil-e-ishq ki hai rah hamvaar
na bulandi hai yaan na pasti hai
