'ishq mein kaamyaab honaa bhi — 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

ab aur kyaa kahun main mohabbat ke baab mein
main un ke saath huun jo mohabbat ke saath hain

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

dil-e-muztar vafaa ke baab mein ye jald-baazi kyaa
zaraa ruk jaaein aur dekhein natija kyaa nikaltaa hai

isi liye hamein ehsaas-e-jurm hai shaayad
abhi hamaari mohabbat nai nai hai naa

main to apni jaan pe khel ke pyaar ki baazi jiit gayaa
qaatil haar gae jo ab tak khuun ke chhinTe dhote hain

ishq ki azmatein bajaa lekin
ishq hi maqsad-e-hayaat nahin
