kaho to aaj bata den tumhein haqiqat bhi
ki zindagi se rahi hai hamein mohabbat bhi
tumhaara husn to hai jaan apne rishte ki
barat rahe hain magar hum zara murawwat bhi
hazar chahen magar chhuT hi nahin sakti
baDi ajib hai ye mai-kashi ki aadat bhi
ye zindagi koi mahshar sahi magar yaro
sukun-baKHsh hai hum ko yahi qayamat bhi
udhaar le ke KHushi sari umr jite rahe
magar ye ilm tha aaegi hum pe aafat bhi
Ghazal
Kaho to aaj bata den tumhein haqiqat bhi
Salman Akhtar
