main khud ko saamne tere biThaa kar — Naeem Zarrar Ahmad

ishq vo chaar su safar hai jahaan
koi bhi raasta nahin ruktaa

maan TuuTe to phir nahin juDtaa
bad-gumaani kabhi na aa ke gai

ishq tu bhi zaraa Tikaa le kamar
dil bhi ab so gayaa hai raat gae

main vo mahrum-e-inaayat huun ki jis ne tujh se
milnaa chaahaa to bichhaDne ki vabaa phuuT paDi

jitni aankhein thiin saari meri thiin
jitne manzar the sab tumhaare the

yaa husn hai naa-vaaqif-e-pindaar-e-mohabbat
yaa ishq hi aasaani-e-atvaar mein gum hai

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

milnaa aur bichhaD jaanaa kisi raste par
ik yahi qissa aadamiyon ke saath rahaa

'shujaa' vo khairiyat puchhein to hairat mein na paD jaanaa
pareshaan karne vaale khair-khvaahon mein bhi hote hain

ye lamha lamha takalluf ke TuTte rishte
na itne paas mire aa ki tu puraanaa lage

yaad karnaa hi ham ko yaad rahaa
bhuul jaanaa bhi tum nahin bhule
