teri chaahat ki hai itni shiddat — Prem Bhandari

khel-kud kar shaam Dhale kyuun
apne ghar ko jaati dhuup

aag lagaai tum ne hi to
logon ne to sirf havaa di

jaane kyuun log miraa naam paDhaa karte hain
main ne chehre pe tire yuun to likhaa kuchh bhi nahin

chhupi hai an-ginat chingaariyaan lafzon ke daaman mein
zaraa paDhnaa ghazal ki ye kitaab aahista aahista

shaam hui to suraj soche
saaraa din bekaar jale the

saari saari raat main jaagaa
vo meri aankhon mein soyaa

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai

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

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun
