gulaab-rut ki tarah 'arsa-e-jamaal mein aa — Anjum Farooq

'ishq vaqt-e-digar pe kyon chhoDein
ye tire baa'd ho nahin saktaa

ab tiraa rasta judaa meraa judaa
dekh qismat kaa likhaa hote hue

saahabo main ne taraashe nahin patthar ke sanam
mere haathon se banaa aur banaa ek hi shakhs

jahaan tak ho sake khud ko bachaa badnaam hone se
mohabbat khatm hoti hai mohabbat 'aam hone se

bahut achchhaa bahut achchhaa bahut achchhaa hai tu lekin
tujhe koi kahe achchhaa mujhe achchhaa nahin lagtaa

is liye kashkol mein paDti hai bhiik
ham ne hai laaThi se laTkaayaa huaa

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke

bataa khud ko bhalaa kaise sanvaarun
mujhe gham aainon mein dikh rahaa hai

us pe qurbaan ki jis ne tiri aavaaz suni
sadqe us aankh ke jis ne tiraa jalva dekhaa
