aakhiri baar mulaaqaat to kar li hai magar — Zahoor Chohan

rahtaa huun main jitnaa saath sab ke
lagtaa hai akelaa ho gayaa huun

main apne aap mein taqsim hone lagtaa huun
use kaho ki mire saamne na aayaa kare

kabhi kabhi to miraa ghar bhi mujh se puchhtaa hai
ki is jahaan mein koi teraa ghar bhi hai ki nahin

inhi jhuke hue peDon se guftugu hai miri
janaab mere buzurgon se guftugu hai miri

zindagi kitne saliqe se guzaaraa hai tujhe
muskuraate bhi rahe zakhm bhi khaate rahe ham

puuri ho jaati agar koi kahaani hoti
ye mohabbat hai miyaan is mein kasak rahti hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'bedaar' raah-e-ishq kisi se na tai hui
sahraa mein qais koh mein farhaad rah gayaa

mohabbat aise ki 'bedaar' sakht mushkil hai
jo apni jaan se guzre vo us ki chaah kare

sab luTaa ishq ke maidaan mein uryaan aayaa
rah gayaa paas mire daaman-e-sahraa baaqi

zaraa baahon ke halqe aur kas lo
mohabbat saans lenaa chaahti hai
