mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi — Farhat Ehsas

ek bose ke bhi nasib na hon
honTh itne bhi ab gharib na hon

kaarkhaana hai usi husn kaa aalam saaraa
bas jidhar us ne lagaayaa hai udhar lag gae hain

kisi haalat mein bhi tanhaa nahin hone deti
hai yahi ek kharaabi miri tanhaai ki

hamaaraa zinda rahnaa aur marnaa ek jaisaa hai
ham apne yaum-e-paidaaish ko bhi barsi samajhte hain

'ehsaas' ne buton mein khudaa ko kiyaa sharik
is shirk ke baghair to imaan hi nahin

vo chaand kah ke gayaa thaa ki aaj niklegaa
to intizaar mein baiThaa huaa huun shaam se main

Dil dhoondta hai phir wahi fursat-e-shab-o-roz
Naaz uthana, naaz uthana, naaz uthana

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

sau sau umidein bandhti hai ik ik nigaah par
mujh ko na aise pyaar se dekhaa kare koi

dil mein na ho jurat to mohabbat nahin milti
khairaat mein itni baDi daulat nahin milti

ishq ne 'ghaalib' nikammaa kar diyaa
varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke

hamaari baat mohabbat siin tum jo gosh karo
to apni prem kahaani tumhein sunaaungaa
