mohabbat farq kho deti hai aalaa aur adnaa kaa — Anand Narayan Mulla

shama ik mom ke paikar ke sivaa kuchh bhi na thi
aag jab tan mein lagaai hai to jaan aai hai

ishq mein vo bhi ek vaqt hai jab
be-gunaahi gunaah hai pyaare

main faqat insaan huun hindu musalmaan kuchh nahin
mere dil ke dard mein tafriq-e-imaan kuchh nahin

kahne ko lafz do hain ummid aur hasrat
in mein nihaan magar ik duniyaa ki daastaan hai

us ik nazar ke bazm mein qisse bane hazaar
utnaa samajh sakaa jise jitnaa shuur thaa

nizaam-e-mai-kada saaqi badalne ki zarurat hai
hazaaron hain safein jin mein na mai aai na jaam aayaa

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai
