dil-e-tabaah mein aabaad hai zamaane se — Shahnawaz Farooqi

kitaab-e-ishq mein saae kaa matlab
dar-o-divaar kaa saaya nahin hai

kabhi ye gham thaa ki samjhaa nahin koi ham ko
aur ab ye Dar ki kisi ne samajh liyaa hi na ho

judaai se ziyaada jaan-levaa
mohabbat mein mohabbat ki kami hai

husn aisaa thaa ki har ik aainaa kam paD gayaa
aaina kyaa umr bhar kaa dekhnaa kam paD gayaa

ye jahaan ek tamaashaa hai sabhi kahte hain
tum na hote to ise ham bhi tamaashaa kahte

dard thaa haijaan thaa par aankh mein aansu na the
jaise dil tak aate aate haadisa kam paD gayaa

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

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar 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

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge
