ishq kaa jaadoo - Amjad Islam Amjad

meraa tamaam fan, merii kawash, meraa riyaaz
ik naa_tamaam geet ke misare haiN jin ke beech
maanii kaa rabt hai na kisii kaafiye kaa mel
anjaam jis kaa tay na huaa ho ik aisaa khel
merii mataa bas yahii jadoo hai ishq kaa
seekhaa hai jis ko maiN ne baRii mushkiloN ke saath

lekin ye saahir-e-ishq kaa tohfaa ajeeb hai 
khulataa nahiiN hai kuchh ke haqeeqat meN kyaa hai ye
taqadeer kii ataa hai yaa ko_ii sazaa hai ye
kis se kaheN ai jaaN ke ye qissaa ajeeb hai
kahane ko yooN to ishq kaa jadoo hai mere paas
par mere dil  ke waaste itanaa hai is kaa bojh
seene se ik pahaaR-saa haTataa nahiiN hai ye
lekin asar ke baab meN halkaa hai is qadar
tujh pe agar chalaaooN to chalataa nahiiN hai ye
