ik adaavat se faraaghat nahin milti varna — Sarfraz Zahid

khiDki se jhaank kar kisi ne
manzar ko vaaqia banaayaa

kunein ki samt bulaa le na koi khvaab mujhe
main apne baap kaa sab se hasin beTaa huun

sab ko qudrat thi khush-kalaami par
khaamushi mein zabaan-daraaz thaa main

dukh se do chaar saal chhoTaa huun
hijr se ek din baDaa huun

mohabbat aam saa ik vaaqia thaa
hamaare saath pesh aane se pahle

zinda ikaTThe ho rahe hain
lagtaa hai koi mar gayaa hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'ishq mein intihaa ki had na hui
'aashiqi teri mustanad na hui

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

kuchh aur vus'atein darkaar hain mohabbat ko
visaal-o-hijr pe daar-o-madaar mushkil hai

bataayaa hai kisi ke ishq ne ham ko
ki duniyaa khubsurat bhi ho sakti hai
