Duub jaaun to koi mauj nishaan tak na bataae — Iftikhar Arif

main zindagi ki duaa maangne lagaa huun bahut
jo ho sake to duaaon ko be-asar kar de

hamin mein rahte hain vo log bhi ki jin ke sabab
zamin buland hui aasmaan ke hote hue

dayaar-e-nur mein tira-shabon kaa saathi ho
koi to ho jo miri vahshaton kaa saathi ho

main chup rahaa ki vazaahat se baat baDh jaati
hazaar sheva-e-husn-e-bayaan ke hote hue

subh savere ran paDnaa hai aur ghamsaan kaa ran
raaton raat chalaa jaae jis ko jaanaa hai

raas aane lagi duniyaa to kahaa dil ne ki jaa
ab tujhe dard ki daulat nahin milne vaali

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

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

tiri abru hai mehraab-e-mohabbat
namaaz-e-ishq mere par hui farz

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

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

uThaa sakte nahin jab chuum kar hi chhoDnaa achchhaa
mohabbat kaa ye patthar is dafa bhaari ziyaada hai
