pyaar aankhon se chhalaktaa hi hai — Navin Joshi

kuchh vaqt zaraa aur nahar duudh ki legi
farhaad ko tesha nahin manzur huaa hai

nishaan raahi ke raahon pe ho na ho lekin
nishaan raahon ke aksar mileinge raahi pe

mohabbat faqat lafz thaa ek khaali
ye kis ne kahaa thaa maaani milaa do

vo niind mili hai ki jo puuri nahin hoti
vo khvaab milaa hai ki jo maazur huaa hai

andheron ujaalon ki hai ye laDaai
bujhaaoge tum ham jalaayaa kareinge

is dafa to zindagi jaldi mein thi
kah do agli baar fursat mein mile

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

kuchh aur vus'atein darkaar hain mohabbat ko
visaal-o-hijr pe daar-o-madaar mushkil hai

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai
