tum hi batlaao ki us ki qadr kyaa hogi tumhein — Zafar Iqbal

yuun mohabbat se na de meri mohabbat kaa javaab
ye sazaa sakht hai thoDi si riaayat kar de

yuun bhi hotaa hai ki yak dam koi achchhaa lag jaae
baat kuchh bhi na ho aur dil mein tamaashaa lag jaae

kyaa khabar jis kaa yahaan itnaa uDaate hain mazaaq
khud hamein bhi kabhi is rang mein Dhalnaa paD jaae

apni marzi se bhi ham ne kaam kar Daale hain kuchh
lafz ko laDvaa diyaa hai beshtar maani ke saath

haath pair aap hi main maar rahaa huun filhaal
Dubte ko abhi tinke kaa sahaaraa kam hai

raaste hain khule hue saare
phir bhi ye zindagi ruki hui hai

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

ik ishq kaa gham aafat aur us pe ye dil aafat
yaa gham na diyaa hotaa yaa dil na diyaa hotaa

kis tarah ishq-e-majaazi ko haqiqi kar luun
saamne tu hai baghal mein tiri tasvir bhi hai

ishq ki raahon mein aayaa hai ik aisaa bhi maqaam
sirf ik main huun vahaan ahl-e-zamin koi nahin
