kam-ayaari ne khudaa-soz banaayaa aisaa — Sarwar Alam Raz

shauq hai tujh ko zamaane mein tiraa naam rahe
aur mujhe Dar hai mohabbat miri bad-naam na ho

tu ne kab ishq mein achchhaa buraa sochaa 'sarvar'
kaise mumkin hai ki teraa buraa anjaam na ho

dekh ye jazb-e-mohabbat kaa karishma to nahin
kal jo tere dil mein thaa vo aaj mere dil mein hai

bayaan qissa-e-bechaargi kiyaa jaae
jo dil ki rah gai dil mein use kahaa jaae

aarzu hasrat aur ummid shikaayat aansu
ik tiraa zikr thaa aur biich mein kyaa kyaa niklaa

be-kaif javaani hai be-dard zamaana hai
naakaam-e-mohabbat kaa itnaa hi fasaana hai

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

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

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