sharik vo bhi rahaa kaavish-e-mohabbat mein — Sarfaraz Khalid

kisi ne jaan hi luTaa di vafaaon ki khaatir
tum hi bataao ki qissa ye kis kitaab kaa hai

lambi hai bahut aaj ki shab jaagne vaalo
aur yaad mujhe koi kahaani bhi nahin hai

vo bhi na aayaa umr-e-guzishta ke misl hi
ham bhi khaDe rahe dar-o-divaar ki tarah

tiri duaaein bhi shaamil hain koshishon mein miri
musibaton kaa na Talnaa ajiib lagtaa hai

siyaah raat ke pahlu mein jism ke andar
kisi gunaah ki khvaahish ko paalte rahnaa

ham kisi aur vaqt ke hain asiir
subh ke shaam ke rahe hi nahin

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

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai
