mohabbatein bhi usi aadmi kaa hissa thiin — Asad Badayuni

bichhaD ke tujh se kisi dusre pe marnaa hai
ye tajraba bhi isi zindagi mein karnaa hai

aate hain barg-o-baar darakhton ke jism par
tum bhi uThaao haath ki mausam duaa kaa hai

jise na meri udaasi kaa kuchh khayaal aayaa
main us ke husn pe ik roz khaak Daal aayaa

chaman vahi ki jahaan par labon ke phuul khilein
badan vahi ki jahaan raat ho gavaaraa bhi

parind kyuun miri shaakhon se khauf khaate hain
ki ik darakht huun aur saaya-daar main bhi huun

meri rusvaai ke asbaab hain mere andar
aadmi huun so bahut khvaab hain mere andar

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

hotaa na koi kaar-e-zamaana mire supurd
bas apne kaarobaar-e-mohabbat ko dekhtaa

surur-e-jaan-fazaa deti hai aaghosh-e-vatan sab ko
ki jaise bhi hon bachche maan ko pyaare ek jaise hain

'ishq mein intihaa ki had na hui
'aashiqi teri mustanad na hui

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne
