ek ham tinon mein mar jaae to chhap jaaegi — Saeed Ahmad Akhtar

ye miraa ilhaam hai vo miri tadbir hai
main na junun kaa asiir main na khirad kaa ghulaam

sajda kahaan lagaa hai hamaari jabin kaa
charchaa hai phir falak pe tire dar-nashin kaa

shabaab tum se karegaa jo tum ne ham se kiyaa
tumhaaraa husn bhi niklegaa bevafaa mausam

aayaa thaa sun ke shahr mein daulat ki rel-pel
kal mill mein kaT ke mar gayaa beTaa kisaan kaa

sulag rahaa hai chaman mein bahaar kaa mausam
kisi hasin ko aavaaz do khudaa ke liye

mire to phuul bhi tum ho sabaa bhi khushbu bhi
nahin ho tum to nahin mere kaam kaa mausam

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jiine aur marne kaa
usi ko dekh kar jiite hain jis kaafir pe dam nikle

'shuur' aap kaa pyaar aap ko mubaarak ho
ye pyaar kaa nahin PR kaa zamaana hai

kahne deti nahin kuchh munh se mohabbat meri
lab pe rah jaati hai aa aa ke shikaayat meri

in hasraton se kah do kahin aur jaa basein
itni jagah kahaan hai dil-e-daagh-daar mein
