इश्क पे शक

शक था शायद इश्क पे मेरे यूँ के देखो रास्ता उसने बदल लिया

बेबस जिद पे अपनी हमने भी देखो नाम अपना ही बदल लिया...

ख़ुद पे ही नाज़ है...


ख़ामोशियों की वो धीमी सी आवाज़ है ,
तन्हाइयों मे वो एक गहरा राज़ है।
मिलते नही है सबको ऐसे दोस्त ,
आप जो मिले हो तो हमे ख़ुद पे ही नाज़ है...

सबसे जीता था मगर कमबख्त मोहब्बत के हाथों हार मेरी हुई
