ishq itnaa bhi kyaa zaruri hai — Nadeem Bhabha

phir mujhe khud bhi khabar ho na saki main huun kahaan
aakhiri baar tire gaanv mein dekhaa gayaa huun

ham ghulaami ko muqaddar ki tarah jaante hain
ham tiri jiit tiri maat se nikle hue hain

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

charaagh dafn kiye the 'nadim' qabron mein
zamin se chaand numudaar ho gae saahib

ye tiri guftugu kaa lamha hai
is ghaDi hai miraa khudaa mire paas

ungliyaan pher mere baalon mein
ye miraa dard-e-sar nahin jaataa

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

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

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa
