nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim' — Asim Wasti

sikhaa na duaaon mein qanaaat kaa saliqa
vo maang rahaa huun jo muqaddar mein nahin hai

log kahte hain ki vo shakhs hai khushbu jaisaa
saath shaayad use le aae havaa dekhte hain

tu mire paas jab nahin hotaa
tujh se kartaa huun kis qadar baatein

miri zabaan ke mausam badalte rahte hain
main aadmi huun miraa e'tibaar mat karnaa

badal gayaa hai zamaana badal gai duniyaa
na ab vo main huun miri jaan na ab vo tu tu hai

kahin kahin to zamin aasmaan se unchi hai
ye raaz mujh pe khulaa siDhiyaan utarte hue

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

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa
