rahegaa saath tiraa pyaar zindagi ban kar — Qateel Shifai

maanaa jivan mein aurat ik baar mohabbat karti hai
lekin mujh ko ye to bataa de kyaa tu aurat zaat nahin

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

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

yuun barasti hain tasavvur mein puraani yaadein
jaise barsaat ki rim-jhim mein samaan hotaa hai

zindagi main bhi chalungaa tire pichhe pichhe
tu mire dost kaa naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa ho jaanaa

sitam to ye hai ki vo bhi na ban sakaa apnaa
qubul ham ne kiye jis ke gham khushi ki tarah

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

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

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

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
