rasm-e-duniyaa ke bayaabaan mein bichhaDne vaale — Rakesh Toofan

lauTaa jab chaand bhi suraj bhi khasaaraa kar ke
ham ne chamkaa diyaa aangan ko sitaaraa kar ke

jahaan pe jhuuT hai nafrat hai be-imaani hai
vahin pe zindagi-bhar zindagi bitaani hai

ajiib baat hai us raat ki sahar na hui
kai charaag jale raushni magar na hui

zakhm chup-chaap rahegaa to rafu bolegaa
tum mujhe qatl bhi kar do to lahu bolegaa

main shajar dekh ke Dar jaataa huun
is qadar dhuup ki aadat hai mujhe

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

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

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

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