ab aur kyaa kahun main mohabbat ke baab mein — Sayyed Riyaz Raheem

nazar rakhte hain us ki har adaa par
ba-zaahir be-khabar hote hue bhi

hamaare 'ahd mein kyon jahl kaa hai rutba buland
shikast khaai hui aagahi savaal uThaa

ajiib khauf kaa aalam hai apne chaaron taraf
safar mein lagtaa hai ye aakhiri safar to nahin

har subh nikalte hain yahi soch ke ghar se
bikhri hui duniyaa ko sameTeinge kisi din

shor mein nafrat ke meri baat zaaea ho gai
meraa kahnaa aur thaa un kaa samajhnaa aur thaa

kitnaa dushvaar lag rahaa thaa safar
dekho ham aa gae vahaan se yahaan

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham to apnon se bhi begaana hue ulfat mein
tum jo ghairon se mile tum ko na ghairat aai

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

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