jaantaa us ko huun davaa ki tarah — Haqeer

jab se kuchh qaabu hai apnaa kaakul-e-khamdaar par
saanp har dam loTtaa hai sina-e-aghyaar par

kyaa jaanein un ki chaal mein eajaaz hai ki sehr
vo bhi unhin se mil gae jo the hamaare log

khuub mil kar gale se ro lenaa
is se dil ki safaai hoti hai

yak-ba-yak tark na karnaa thaa mohabbat mujh se
khair jis tarah se aataa thaa vo aataa jaataa

haqaarat ki nigaahon se na farsh-e-khaak ko dekho
amiron kaa faqiron kaa yahi aakhir ko bistar hai

band-e-qabaa pe haath hai sharmaae jaate hain
kamsin hain zikr-e-vasl se ghabraae jaate hain

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

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

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

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai
