To arz kiya he...!!

Ke har sham chand se tere efazat ki khabren suna karta hun

Har sham hawaon me teri Khushboo ko mehsus karta hun

Sara din bikharta hun, tutta hun magar sham hote hi tujhe khawbon me dekh sukoon se jee leta hun

Har sham hathon me hath hota tha tumhara, abb unn palon ko me har sham yaad karta hun

Wakqt-e-mohoobat itna raha nhi humare darmiya, magar jitna tha unn palon ko me yaad kar khudko sambhal leta hun

~Atharv

To arz kiya he...!!

Kar apni nazron ko ek chere par pabandh Har soorat par dil lutana toheen-e-wafa hoti he

Rakh apne ansuon ko sambhal, suna he bazaron me tute hue Dil ki koi kimat nhi hoti

He Dastoor-e-wakt dekh soorat se kii gai mohobaat ajj ke zamane me hazar hoti he

Rakh uss sukhe gulab ko sambhal, har-kisi ki mohobaat itni khas nhi hoti he

~Atharv

To arz kiya he...!!

Ke kuch sukhe gulab si ho gai he zindgi meri, bikhar chuka hun magar apne atit se abhi tak kuch wasta rakha he

Bikharne ki wajaha beshak meri mohabbat he,magar uspr ilzam lagau to kese akhir wo meri apni mohabbat he

ke tabaha ho chuka hun me puri taraha, tu baas ek bar akar mujhe samet le, dard-e-alam si zindagi me apne ishq ke kuch pal isme ghol de

Na karunga shikayaten, Na hi karunga wo wade yaad tumhare, naa mudaten khuda se karunga, tu bas itna karna, mujhe apnaa maan lena mera janaza lejate-lejate

Ek gulab rakhna meri mazhar par, le jaunga usse apne sath khuda ke dar par, or usse dikhaunga 'ki dekh kya diya meri mohabbat ne mujhe alwida kehte-kehte'

To arz kiya he...!!

Kabhi zarurat ho kisi mod par hamari to beshak hume yad karna Kabhi moka mile to tum mujhse milne to ana 

Gam-e-zindgi banay bethe he hum, kabhi moka mile to unn jakhmo ko bharne to ana

Yaad karna wo purane afsane wo hasin zindgi ke, kabhi moka mile to unhe fir dohorane ki dua-en mangna

Humare hal-e-zindgi dekh kabhi afsos mat Jatana, kabhi moka mile to thoda wakt nikal hume galee laga lena

Mee jab apna atit yad kar rone lagta hun tumhari tasvir dekh kar thoda mushkura leta hun, tumhe kabhi moka mile to tum bhi humari tasvir kabhi dekh hume yaad too kar lena

~Atharv

To arz kiya he...!!

Ke sambhal rakhu uss har tasvir ko jisme mene tumhe apne sath dekha he

Bikhar jau iss taraha jesa mere ishq ki adhuri kahani ke likha he

Khwabon me dekhu me tumhe apni zindagi ki hasraton ki taraha

Jee bhar ke jii-luu uss pal ko jo pal hasin lagne laga he

Wo pal jise pane ke liye mera dil har pal roya he

Wo pal jo kuch palon ke liye hi meri zindgi me aya he

Ke sambhal rakhu har uss tasvir ko, jisme tere sath apne app ko akhri baar khush dekha he

Ke tabha ho jau iss taraha jesa khuda ne meri lakiron me likha he

~Atharv

To arz kiya he...!!

Tumhe dekhte hi nazre humari jhuka liya karte the hum

Har mazjid har mandir, dar-badar bhatke he hum magar tere jesi sadgi na dhund sake hum

Mohobaat-e-aas to itni thi ki tumhare bichadne ke bad khuda se khafa hone Lage hum

Mene pucha khuda se ki kyu chood Gaya mujhe tu esi bhi kya uski majburi thi

Khuda ne kaha na kasoor Tera tha na marzi uski thi mene yeh kahani hi adhuri likhi thi

Usne kaha naa koi hasrat rakh, naa koi wada yaad rakh

Pathar to hazaron ne marna cahee hume magar teri mohobbat ke liye abhi bhi taras rahe he hum

Manzure khuda bhalehi nhi tha, magar tere sath hone ke liye abhi-bhi tadap rahe he hum
