kitne shorida-sar mohabbat mein — Qabil Ajmeri

rang-e-mahfil chaahtaa hai ik mukammal inqalaab
chand shamon ke bhaDakne se sahar hoti nahin

raasta hai ki kaTtaa jaataa hai
faasla hai ki kam nahin hotaa

ab ye aalam hai ki gham ki bhi khabar hoti nahin
ashk bah jaate hain lekin aankh tar hoti nahin

ham badalte hain rukh havaaon kaa
aae duniyaa hamaare saath chale

tum na maano magar haqiqat hai
ishq insaan ki zarurat hai

vaqt kartaa hai parvarish barson
haadisa ek dam nahin hotaa

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

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

nahin vo sham-e-mohabbat rahi to phir 'aasim'
ye kis duaa se mire ghar mein raushni si hai
