ishq kyaa shai hai husn hai kyaa chiiz — Zaheer Dehlvi

chaahat kaa jab mazaa hai ki vo bhi hon be-qaraar
donon taraf ho aag baraabar lagi hui

shirkat gunaah mein bhi rahe kuchh savaab ki
tauba ke saath toDiye botal sharaab ki

kuchh to hote hain mohabbat mein junun ke aasaar
aur kuchh log bhi divaana banaa dete hain

samjheinge na aghyaar ko aghyaar kahaan tak
kab tak vo mohabbat ko mohabbat na kaheinge

ishq hai ishq to ik roz tamaashaa hogaa
aap jis munh ko chhupaate hain dikhaanaa hogaa

bujhaaun kyaa charaagh-e-subh-gaahi
mire ghar shaam honi hai sahar se

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai vaaiz
dekh maathe pe abhi chaand numaayaan hogaa

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
