mayassar se ziyaada chaahtaa hai — Akram Naqqash

jaise paani pe naqsh ho koi
raunaqein sab adam-sabaat rahin

ye kaun si jagah hai ye basti hai kaun si
koi bhi is jahaan mein tere sivaa nahin

jiyungaa main tiri saanson mein jab tak
khud apni saans mein zinda rahungaa

kuchh to inaayatein hain mire kaarsaaz ki
aur kuchh mire mizaaj ne tanhaa kiyaa mujhe

ishq ik aisi haveli hai ki jis se baahar
koi darvaaza khule aur na daricha nikle

hazaar kaarvaan yuun to hain mere saath magar
jo mere naam hai vo qaafila kab aaegaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

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

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai
