mohabbat muntaqil hone lagi hai — Farhat Zahid

khizaan ke aakhiri din the vo khushbu maangne aayaa
miraa daaman hi khaali thaa main us ko phuul kyaa deti

maan ban chuki huun main bhi magar us se kyaa kahun
jo apni maan ke pyaar se aage na jaa sakaa

ajiib rut hai ye hijr-o-visaal se aage
kamaal hone lagaa hai kamaal se aage

alfaaz na aavaaz na hamraaz na dam-saaz
ye kaise doraahe pe main khaamosh khaDi huun

vo aae to rang sanvarne lagte hain
jaise bichhDaa yaar bhi koi mausam hai

aurat huun magar surat-e-kohsaar khaDi huun
ik sach ke tahaffuz ke liye sab se laDi huun

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

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

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

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

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