main jab 'qatil' apnaa sab kuchh luTaa chukaa huun — Qateel Shifai

abhi to baat karo ham se doston ki tarah
phir ikhtilaaf ke pahlu nikaalte rahnaa

aakhri hichki tire zaanun pe aae
maut bhi main shaairaana chaahtaa huun

apne haathon ki lakiron mein sajaa le mujh ko
main huun teraa tu nasib apnaa banaa le mujh ko

nikal kar dair-o-kaaba se agar miltaa na but-khaana
to Thukraae hue insaan khudaa jaane kahaan jaate

kyuun sharik-e-gham banaate ho kisi ko ai 'qatil'
apni suuli apne kaandhe par uThaao chup raho

ab jis ke ji mein aae vahi paae raushni
ham ne to dil jalaa ke sar-e-aam rakh diyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

tere shaidaa bhi hue ishq-e-tamaashaa bhi hue
tere divaane tire shahr mein rusvaa bhi hue

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa
