aisaa kyaa 'ishq jo rusvaai 'ataa kar na sake — Nitin Nayab

ham apne pairon kaa ek kaanTaa nikaalne ke liye ruke the
bas itne lamhe kaa bitnaa thaa ki ham se aage nikal gae sab

'ishq ki chaadar laayaa huun aur khaas baat ye hai is mein
jitne pair pasaaro ye utni lambi ho jaati hai

dukh ke baazaar mein ham zabt kamaane vaale
ashk ko aankh kaa nuqsaan kahaa karte hain

sar yuun jhukte chale jaate hain ki gir hi na paDein
aisi 'izzat mire sarkaar buri lagti hai

kisi samundar se ek qatra agar nikal kar nadi ki jaanib
qadam uThaa le to vo safar ik misaal hogaa kamaal hogaa

khushk gul phir bhi kitaabon mein bhale lagte hain
zang lag jaae to talvaar buri lagti hai

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

ishq ki fitrat ne yuun badlaa mazaaq-e-zindagi
jitne gham baDhne lage utni khushi hone lagi
