mohabbat chaahiye to kar mohabbat — Chandrakant Rawat

kaam ko imaan se anjaam detaa chal bashar
jaane kis surat mein teraa mehnataana aaegaa

tar-ba-tar ho kar rahein taa-zindagi
ai ghaTaa ik roz ham par yuun baras

ai mire dost ek muddat se
chaand dekhaa nahin teri chhat se

apni samjhe the magar nikli paraai zindagi
jaane kis miTTi ki thi qaabu na aai zindagi

vo zulfein vo nazrein vo jumbish labon ki
vo sab un ke hathiyaar kaam aa rahe hain

musibat sar pe munh baae khaDi hai
tujhe ai dil mohabbat ki paDi hai

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

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

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

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

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

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