khudaa! sila de duaa kaa, mohabbaton ke khudaa — Iftikhar Mughal

ham ne us chehre ko baandhaa nahin mahtaab-misaal
ham ne mahtaab ko us rukh ke mumaasil baandhaa

gher leti hai koi zulf, koi bu-e-badan
jaan kar koi giraftaar nahin hotaa yaar

mohabbat aur ibaadat mein farq to hai naan
so chhin li hai tiri dosti mohabbat ne

main tum ko khud se judaa kar ke kis tarah dekhun
ki main bhi ''tum'' huun, koi dusraa nahin huun main

kai dinon se mire saath saath chalti hai
koi udaas si ThanDi si koi parchhaain

tu mujh se mere zamaanon kaa puchhti hai to sun!
tiraa junun, tiraa saudaa, tiri talab, tiri yaad

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

zahr hai mere rag-o-pai mein mohabbat shaayad
apne hi Dank se bichchhu ki tarah mar jaaun

jaada-e-raah-e-mohabbat ki daraazi mat puchh
manzil-e-shauq kaa har zarra bayaabaan niklaa

ye 'ishq laaegaa us moD par tujhe ek din
ghazal nahin tu miraa naam gungunaaegaa

ab is se baDh ke mohabbat kisi ko kyaa degi
kisi ki aankh kaa aansu kisi ki aankh mein hai
