kyaa shikva karein kunj-e-qafas kaa dil-e-muztar — Meer Hasan

dosti kis se na thi kis se mujhe pyaar na thaa
jab bure vaqt pe dekhaa to koi yaar na thaa

jo koi aave hai nazdik hi baiThe hai tire
ham kahaan tak tire pahlu se sarakte jaavein

aasaan na samajhiyo tum nakhvat se paak honaa
ik umr kho ke ham ne sikhaa hai khaak honaa

aashnaa bevafaa nahin hotaa
bevafaa aashnaa nahin hotaa

itne aansu to na the dida-e-tar ke aage
ab to paani hi bharaa rahtaa hai ghar ke aage

sadaa aish dauraan dikhaataa nahin
gayaa vaqt phir haath aataa nahin

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbaton ko kahin se madad nahin milti
ye jang aisi hai jis mein rasad nahin milti

mohabbatein to huiin aur tum se pahle bhi
magar jo tum se hui yaad karte rahte hain

ishq par kuchh na chalaa dida-e-tar kaa qaabu
us ne jo aag lagaa di vo bujhaai na gai

aatish-e-ishq se bachiye ki yahaan ham ne bhi
mom ki tarah se patthar ko pighalte dekhaa
