rasm-e-duniyaa ke bayaabaan mein bichhaDne vaale — Rakesh Toofan

lauTaa jab chaand bhi suraj bhi khasaaraa kar ke
ham ne chamkaa diyaa aangan ko sitaaraa kar ke

jahaan pe jhuuT hai nafrat hai be-imaani hai
vahin pe zindagi-bhar zindagi bitaani hai

ajiib baat hai us raat ki sahar na hui
kai charaag jale raushni magar na hui

zakhm chup-chaap rahegaa to rafu bolegaa
tum mujhe qatl bhi kar do to lahu bolegaa

main shajar dekh ke Dar jaataa huun
is qadar dhuup ki aadat hai mujhe

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

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

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

muTThiyon mein khaak le kar dost aae vaqt-e-dafn
zindagi bhar ki mohabbat kaa silaa dene lage
