musaafiron se mohabbat ki baat kar lekin — Umar Ansari

aksar huaa hai ye ki khud apni talaash mein
aage nikal gae hain had-e-maa-sivaa se bhi

baahar baahar sannaaTaa hai andar andar shor bahut
dil ki ghani basti mein yaaro aan base hain chor bahut

uThaa ye shor vahin se sadaaon kaa kyun-kar
vo aadmi to sunaa apne ghar mein tanhaa thaa

buraa sahi main pa niyat buri nahin meri
mire gunaah bhi kaar-e-savaab mein likhnaa

chhup kar na rah sakegaa vo ham se ki us ko ham
pahchaan leinge us ki kisi ik adaa se bhi

us ik diye se hue kis qadar diye raushan
vo ik diyaa jo kabhi baam-o-dar mein tanhaa thaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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