nahin hai dil kaa sukun qismat-e-tamannaa mein — Maikash Akbarabadi

tiri zulfon ko kyaa suljhaaun ai dost
miri raahon mein pech-o-kham bahut hain

kuchh is tarah tiri ulfat mein kaaT di main ne
gunaahgaar huaa aur na paak-baaz rahaa

mire fusun ne dikhaai hai tere rukh ki sahar
mire junun ne banaai hai tere zulf ki shaam

pahunch hi jaaegaa ye haath teri zulfon tak
yunhi junun kaa agar silsila daraaz rahaa

zabaan pe naam-e-mohabbat bhi jurm thaa yaani
ham un se jurm-e-mohabbat bhi bakhshvaa na sake

aap ki meri kahaani ek hai
kahiye ab main kyaa sunaaun kyaa sunun

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

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

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
