kisi laashe pe ye baad-e-sabaa kahti hui guzri — 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

mujhe maalum hai ahl-e-vafaa par kyaa guzarti hai
samajh kar soch kar tujh se mohabbat kar rahaa huun main

aansu miri aankhon se nikal jaate hain aksar
vo daur-e-mohabbat kabhi bhulaa to nahin huun

uDaa hai rafta rafta rang tasvir-e-mohabbat kaa
hui hai rasm-e-ulfat be-viqaar aahista aahista
