zindagi jis ne talkh ki meri — Sohail Akhtar

pahaaD jaise dinon ko to kaaT luun lekin
nikal na paaun main ik raat ki giraani se

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

pyaar karne vaalon kaa sirf ek sahraa hai
saare shahr us ke hain saari bastiyaan us ki

tu apne saath saath mein parda-nashin ko bhi
rusvaa karegaa ai dil-e-khaana-kharaab kyaa

mohabbat, hijr, nafrat mil chuki hai
main taqriban mukammal ho chukaa huun

zarur us kaa koi pyaas se maraa hogaa
vo kitne pyaar se paani pilaa rahaa thaa hamein
