ishq mein sachchaa thaa vo meri tarah — Nomaan Shauque

rok do ye raushni ki tez dhaar
meri miTTi mein gundhi hai raat bhi

vo saanp jis ne mujhe aaj tak Dasaa bhi nahin
tamaam zahr sukhan mein mire usi kaa hai

phir is mazaaq ko jamhuriyat kaa naam diyaa
hamein Daraane lage vo hamaari taaqat se

apni aahaT pe chaunktaa huun main
kis ki duniyaa mein aa gayaa huun main

vo tanz ko bhi husn-e-talab jaan khush hue
ulTaa paDhaa gayaa, miraa paighaam aur thaa

is baar intizaam to sardi kaa ho gayaa
kyaa haal peD kaTte hi basti kaa ho gayaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

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

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

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht
