kab taalib-e-raahat hue zakhmi-e-mohabbat — Imdad Ali Bahr

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

— Imdad Ali Bahr

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

— Imdad Ali Bahr

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

— Imdad Ali Bahr

na mohabbat hai dilon mein na hayaa aankhon mein
ye sanam tu ne banaae hain khudaayaa kaise

— Imdad Ali Bahr

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

— Imdad Ali Bahr

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

— Imdad Ali Bahr

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

— Ibn

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

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

hamaaraa ishq ravaan hai rukaavaTon mein 'zafar'
ye khvaab hai kisi divaar se nahin ruktaa
