kaun uThaae ishq ke anjaam ki jaanib nazar — Saba Akbarabadi

ravaan hai qaafila-e-ruh-e-iltifaat abhi
hamaari raah se haT jaae kaaenaat abhi

musaafiraan-e-rah-e-shauq sust-e-gaam ho kyuun
qadam baDhaae hue haan qadam baDhaae hue

aap ke lab pe aur vafaa ki qasam
kyaa qasam khaai hai khudaa ki qasam

apne jalne mein kisi ko nahin karte hain sharik
raat ho jaae to ham shama bujhaa dete hain

samjhegaa aadmi ko vahaan kaun aadmi
banda jahaan khudaa ko khudaa maantaa nahin

gham-e-dauraan ko baDi chiiz samajh rakkhaa thaa
kaam jab tak na paDaa thaa gham-e-jaanaan se hamein

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

fazaaon mein mohabbat gholtaa huun
main hindi huun main urdu boltaa huun
