mohabbat aisaa darvaaza hai 'khaavar' — Iqbal Khawar

aaine par koi tohmat na dharo
khaal-o-khad apne sanvaaro saahab

bahut hairat-zada hai aaina bhi
ki chehre par koi chehra nahin hai

niind mat DhunD meri aankhon mein
silvaTein dekh mere bistar par

us ko matlab kaa jab milaa mausam
rang us ke the dekhne vaale

tu bhi dekhegaa zaraa rang utar lein tere
ham hi rakhte hain tujhe yaad ki sab rakhte hain

izhaar ki ye bhi surat thi
khaamoshi ko fariyaad kiyaa

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

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

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