log kirdaar bannaa chaahte hain — Nadeem Bhabha

aur koi pahchaan miri banti hi nahin
jaante hain sab log ki bas teraa huun main

mohabbat ne akelaa kar diyaa hai
main apni zaat mein ik qaafila thaa

saare savaal aasaan hain mushkil ek javaab
ham bhi ek javaab hain koi savaal kare

bad-nasibi ki ishq kar ke bhi
koi dhoka nahin huaa mire saath

dil mubtalaa-e-hijr rifaaqat mein rah gayaa
lagtaa hai koi farq mohabbat mein rah gayaa

kuchh is liye bhi akelaa saa ho gayaa huun 'nadim'
sabhi ko dost banaayaa hai dushmani nahin ki

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

apne viraane kaa nuqsaan nahin chaahtaa main
yaani ab dusraa insaan nahin chaahtaa main

ye mere saathi hain pyaare saathi magar inhein bhi nahin gavaaraa
main apni vahshat ke maqbare se nai tamannaa ke khvaab dekhun

tamaam vahm o gumaan hai to ham bhi dhoka hain
isi khayaal se duniyaa ko main ne pyaar kiyaa
