ham ne mai-khaana-e-mohabbat mein — Ateeq Ahmad Ateeq

ham hain ki ab bhi vaadi-e-zulmat mein hain ravaan
apne lahu se kar ke charaaghaan kaa ehtimaam

ye kahkashaan ye sitaare ye chaandni ye bahaar
nigaah main na uThaaun to sab ke sab be-kaar

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
