mohabbat ki hamein fursat nahin thi — Neelma Naheed Durrani

aurat apnaa aap bachaae tab bhi mujrim hoti hai
aurat apnaa aap ganvaae tab bhi mujrim hoti hai

koi to aae khizaan mein patte ugaane vaalaa
gulon ki khushbu ko qaid karnaa koi to sikhe

shabnam tumhaare sahn mein roi tamaam raat
lekin har ek phuul kaa chehra nikhar gayaa

main ne suraj chaand sitaare tere naam likhe hain
jag mein jitne phuul hain saare tere naam likhe hain

ham apne aap mein gum jaa rahe the
kisi guftaar ne chaunkaa diyaa thaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jaan jaane ko hai aur raqs mein parvaana hai
kitnaa rangin mohabbat tiraa afsaana hai

thaa sab ko daavaa ishq kaa lekin na Thahraa koi bhi
daanista apni jaan se dil ko uThaayaa ek main

mujhe khabar hi nahin thi ki ishq kaa aaghaaz
ab ibtidaa se nahin darmiyaan se hotaa hai

'aarzu' be-asar mohabbat chhoD
kyuun kare kaam jab nahin aataa
