ye pyaar kaa jazba tire kuchh kaam to aae — Abdul Wahab Sukhan

jal rahe hain abhi kamzor aqidon ke charaagh
jis kaa ji chaahe zamaane mein khudaa ho jaae

mohabbaton ke hasin baab se zaraa aage
kitaab-e-zist mein miltaa hai gumrahi kaa varaq

thaam rakkhi hai ham ne chaal apni
aaj-kal hain sitaare gardish mein

jab bhi ye sochne lagtaa huun ki kaun apnaa hai
zehn mein aa ke kai naam nikal jaate hain

phans hi jaate hain kisi daam mein aakhir ham log
laakh kahte hain chhalaave mein nahin aaeinge

vo aise moD par mujh ko milaa thaa
main tanhaai kaa aadi ho chukaa thaa

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain
