aaj bhi 'prem' ke aur 'krishn' ke afsaane hain — Ata Abidi

zarurat Dhal gai rishte mein varna
yahaan koi kisi kaa apnaa kab hai

sabr ki had bhi to kuchh hoti hai
kitnaa palkon pe sambhaalun paani

sab khvaab puraane hain har chand fasaane hain
ham roz basaate hain aankhon mein nai duniyaa

koi bhi khush nahin hai is khabar se
ki duniyaa jald lauTegi safar se

kisi ke jism-o-jaan chhalni kisi ke baal-o-par TuuTe
jali shaakhon pe yuun laTke kabutar dekh aayaa huun

khvaab hi khvaab ki taabir huaa to jaanaa
zindagi kyuun kisi aankhon ke asar mein aai

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

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

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

sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai vaaiz
dekh maathe pe abhi chaand numaayaan hogaa

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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