Be-inteha Muhabbat:

Tum chaho ya na chaho… par mera dil hamesha tumhara hi rahega

Zulfikar Inamdar

Arz kiya hai…

Kabhi zindagi mein keh nahi paaya,
Lekin aaj dil se yeh keh deta hoon…
Tum chaho ya na chaho, samjho ya na samjho,
Phir bhi main tumhara beshumaar intezaar karta hoon.

Raaton ki syaahi mein bhi tera chehra chamak sa jata hai,
Main aankhein band karoon to bhi tu meri rooh mein utar jata hai.
Har sans teri yaad ka ehsaan liye phirta hoon,
Chahe duniya samjhe ya na samjhe…
Main sirf tumse be-intehaa mohabbat karta hoon.

Dil ke sheher mein ab koi aur qadam rakh bhi nahi sakta,
Teri yaadon ne har mod par apna dera daal rakha hai.
Log kehte hain ek-tarfa ishq thaka deta hai…
Par mujhe to isse hi zindagi milti hai, saans chalti hai.

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai tum jaanti ho mera haal,
Par bekaar si ummeed ko main khud hi daant leta hoon.
Ishq mein kaisa hisaab, kaisa sawaal…
Yahan to main har din khudko tum par qurbaan karta hoon.

Tanhaai bhi mujhse shikwa karti hai,
Kehti: “Tu itna kisi ka kaise ho sakta hai?”
Main muskurakar jawab deta hoon:
“Jisne dil hi de diya… woh phir peeche kaise ho sakta hai?”

Kabhi teri awaaz ki yaad se raat bhar neend nahi aati,
Kabhi tera naam hi dhadkan ko tez banakar chala jaata hai.
Mohabbat ka ye silsila rukne ka naam nahi leta,
Chahe main kitni baar khud ko samjhaata jaaun.

Tumhari ek jhalak mil jaaye… to saari duniya haseen lagti hai,
Aur jab tum door ho jao… to saare rang hi pheeke pad jaate hain.
Kya karun, dil ka ilaaj koi nahi karta,
Bas dhadkan tumhare aas-paas hi ghoomti rehti hai.

Kabhi kabhi sochta hoon…
Agar tumhe pata hota ke koi saal-dar-saal sirf tumhari dua maangta hai,
To shayad tum ek pal ke liye hi sahi…
Par palat kar dekh leti.

Par koi baat nahi…
Ishq ki raahon mein shikayat be-maani hoti hai,
Yahaan faqat deewangi chalta hai, faisle nahi.
Isliye main chupchap, be-aabroo bhi sahi…
Par tumhara hi intezaar karta hoon.

Mohabbat meri aadat nahi… ibadat hai,
Aur ibadat kabhi bekaar nahi jaati.
Main aaj bhi, kal bhi, aur jab tak saansein chalti rahengi…
Sirf tumse hi beintehaa mohabbat karta rahunga.”
