Fitnah

uljhanon se yeh toh saaf hai
jazbaaton mae kahin koi itlaaf hai

ik taraf ik fitnah ki aarzoo hai
ik taraf kisi se karna insaaf hai

gumaan hai mujhe kuch ajeeb sa
phir kyon tujhpe itna itraaf hai

tang hai yun toh waqt ki tars
‘ishq’ ya dil ke ya khud ke khilaaf hai

Na Jaane...

na jaane kyon itna guroor aa gaya hai
na jaane kahaan se yeh noor aa gaya hai

koi vajah nahi na kisi ka intezaar hai
na jaane kyon itna suroor aa gaya hai

deedar aankhon ka aur talab umr ki
na jaane kyon dil pe qusoor aa gaya hai

naam lene lagae hain mera sar-e-mehfil
raqeeb “Ishq” ka koi mashhoor aa gaya hai
