ehsaan-e-rab mohabbatein itni milin 'adil' — Adeel Zaidi

ise shaairi na jaano ye hai meri aap-biti
main ne likh diyaa hai dil kaa sabhi haal chalte chalte

main is se qimti shai koi kho nahin saktaa
'adil' maan ki jagah koi ho nahin saktaa

rasm-o-rivaaj chhoD ke sab aa gae yahaan
rakkhi hui hain taaq mein ab ghairatein tamaam

kahaan ke maahir-o-kaamil ho tum hunar mein 'adil'
tumhaare kaam to parvardigaar kartaa hai

har taraf apne hi apne haae tanhaai na puchh
kis qadar khalti hai aksar ham ko binaai na puchh

de hausle ki daad ke ham tere gham mein aaj
baiThe hain mahfilon ko sajaae tire baghair

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

sau sau umidein bandhti hai ik ik nigaah par
mujh ko na aise pyaar se dekhaa kare koi

dil mein na ho jurat to mohabbat nahin milti
khairaat mein itni baDi daulat nahin milti

ishq ne 'ghaalib' nikammaa kar diyaa
varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke

hamaari baat mohabbat siin tum jo gosh karo
to apni prem kahaani tumhein sunaaungaa
