kiije izhaar-e-mohabbat chaahe jo anjaam ho — Priyamvada Ilhan

idhar aate un ke qadam dekhte hain
sitam hai ki hai ye karam dekhte hain

bahut milne se aib dikhte hain kam-kam
bahut dekhte hain jo kam dekhte hain

ham sahraa vaale hain badraa ye prem ki rim-jhim aur kahin
aanaa hai yahaan to aaiyo tu jam kar jham-jham karne ke liye

jo kahkashaan si nazar aati hain miri aankhein
guzishta shab ke ye aansu hain jo sitaare hue

zaraa si baat nahin hai kisi kaa ho jaanaa
ki umr lagti hai but ko khudaa banaane mein

dil ko honaa hai fanaa rahnaa hai qaaem aql ko
hasti-e-aadam kahaan jaae ye fitrat chhoD kar

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dil-e-betaab kaa andaaz-e-bayaan hai varna
shukr mein kaun si shai hai jo shikaayat mein nahin
