aaj tak us ki mohabbat kaa nasha taari hai — Shahzad Ahmad

shaayad isi baais huiin patthar miri aankhein
jo kuchh ki mujhe dekhnaa thaa dekh liyaa hai

zabaanein thak chukin patthar hue kaan
kahaani an-kahi thi an-kahi hai

ek se manzar dekh dekh kar aankhein dukhne lagti hain
is raste par peD bahut hain aur haraa koi bhi nahin

khule asraar us par jism ke aahista aahista
bahut din mein use baatein na karne kaa hunar aayaa

bharpur nahin hain kisi chehre ke khad-o-khaal
dekhaa nahin vo chaand jo puuraa nazar aae

ab to insaan ki azmat bhi koi chiiz nahin
log patthar ko khudaa maan liyaa karte the

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

use bahisht ke zindaan mein bhej denaa tum
gunaahgaar-e-mohabbat ko ye sazaa denaa

bahut tezaab phailaa hai gali-kuchon mein nafrat kaa
mohabbat phir bhi apne kaam se baahar nikalti hai

tumhein ye 'ishq bichhaD kar samajh mein aaegaa
charaagh bujhte hain tab jaa ke raat khulti hai
