Maein Hoon Aur Tum Nahi

Zaroori nahi har baat ka sabab ho koi
Par muskuraane ka koi bahaana nahi hota

Voh intezaar mae hai aur mera raqeeb mere saath
Yun toh koi bhi yaaraana nahi hota

Voh rehta nahi ab uss gali toh kya hua
Ab humaara waise bhi kahin jaana nahi hota

Majma hain, suhbat hai, maein hoon aur tum nahi
“Ishq” ka isse bada koi veeraana nahi hota

Aatish

Hawaa toh chalti hai magar, ek patta bhi hilta nahi
Jis din voh milta nahi, koi ek gul kahin khilta nahi

Arsaa ho gaya chot lage zehen-o-dil pe
Zakhm bharta nahi aur dard isko silta nahi

Tu mere saamne hai aur main iss soch mae hoon
Kyon ab tu mujhe aa ke milta nahi

Aaj barso mae utha toh hai dhuaan lekin
Chingari ho bhi par “ishq” ka aatish jalta nahi
