mohabbat aam saa ik vaaqia thaa — 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

aa rahaa huun nasihatein le kar
us se kahnaa abhi javaan rahe

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

mohabbat ne 'maail' kiyaa har kisi ko
kisi par kisi ko kisi par kisi ko

mushkil-e-ishq mein laazim hai tahammul 'saaqib'
baat bigDi hui banti nahin ghabraane se

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa
