kitaab-e-ishq mein saae kaa matlab — Shahnawaz Farooqi

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

vo mire bas ko kaise samjhegaa
jo miri bebasi ko samjhaa nahin

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

baDaa hi farq hai ai yaar ham donon ke jazbon mein
tumhein mujh se mohabbat thi mujhe tum se mohabbat hai

ranj-o-gham aur alam-o-dard kaa lashkar nikle
ishq to tab hai jab aankhon se samandar nikle

pyaar ki baatein kijiye saahab
lutf sohbat kaa guftugu se hai

harjaaiyon ke ishq ne kyaa kyaa kiyaa zalil
rusvaa rahe kharaab rahe dar-ba-dar rahe
