mohobbat na karna ki yehi hai meri halaat ki wajhe

zindagi ne kayi naye chehare har roz dikhaye the,
isme jada humne udaasi ke lamhein hi bitaye the,
ek pal khushi phir humesha tanhai mein rona tha,
jawani ke din humne mohobbat-e-dard mein bitaye the,

tumne to ki hogi sirf yun dillagi khabi kisi gair se,
hum to apno ki nafrat ke sataye the,
tukda tukda dil hua tha aur aashuon ki barsaat huyi,
kayi shaam jhonke jab unki bewafai ke paigam laye the,

tuta hua dil bhi humne rakha tha pairon mein unke,
aaj bhi yaad hai hume wo pal bebasi ka,
jab wo un tukdon ko rond kar mushkuraye the,
ao suno meri zindagi mein kaise kaise mausam aaye the,

humse kaha tha usne karlo shikwa kal waqt mile na mile,
sach hoga khabi yeh aise khyal bhi khabi na aaye the,
humne muthi mein bandi thi yaadein jeene ke liye,
waqt ki leher mein us khushi ko bhi baha kar aaye the,

le chalo hume aye maut ke farishton is duniya se,
jawani mein humne issi dua ke liye  haath uthaye the,
mohobbat na karna ki yehi hai meri halaat ki wajhe,
issi galti mein dil tham humne har shaam aashuon me bahaye the.
