Wo kaam kyun karein jise dil maantaa na ho - Seemab Akbarabadi

Barbaad husn-e-zan se maal-e-wafaa na ho !
Aisa na ho ke haqq-e-muhabbat ataa na ho !

Hoon aashna-e-dost, mujhe kyun ataa na ho ?
Aisi jabeen jo dair-o-haram se aashnaa na ho !

Phir chaahta hoon raabta husn-o-ishq se,
Wo ibtada ke jis ki koi intehaa na ho !

Wo sar-khushi ka waqt hai jab kaayenaat mein,
Dil bolta ho aur aur koi boltaa na ho !

Rahne de imtiyaaz ke parde pade huye,
Aye husn ! har naqaab se jalwanumaa na ho !

Mahw-e-khudi na ho jo wo kaafir to kya kare,
Jis ki nazar mein hadd-e-khudi tak Khuda na ho !

'Seemab' tark-e-ishq-o-gham-e-zindagi galat,
Wo kaam kyun karein jise dil maantaa na ho !

Mujh ko dil, main dil ko samjhaata raha - 'Josh' Malsiyani

Bahas mein donon ko lutf aata rahaa,

Mujh ko dil, main dil ko samjhaata raha

Dil hai mera maqaam-e-gham - Akhtar Sheerani

Dil hai mera maqaam-e-gham, gham ka maqaam hai yahaan

Naa’la-e-subah hai yahaan, giriyaa-e-shaam hai yahaan

Ek tasawwur-e-haseen khilwat-e-dil mein hai makeen

Deeda-e-shauq ke liye deed haraam hai yahaan

Nikhat-e-noor-o-naar udhar, zulmat-o-soz-o-saaz idhar

Subah hi subah hai wahaan, shaam hi shaam hai yahaan

Sahan-e-chaman mein har jagah nash’sha sa failne lagaa

Aaj yah kaun mahalaqaa mast-e-khiraam hai yahaan

Mera alam’kada nahin rang-e-tarab se aashna 

fasl-e-khijaan ho ya bahaar, maatam-e-aam hai yahaan

Unke liye suroor-e-naaz, mere liye gham-o-gudaaz 

Gardish-e-chashm hai wahaan, gardish-e-jaam hai yahaan

~ Akhtar Sheerani
