_Anarkali – Ishq Ka Qafas

Anarkali – Ishq Ka Qafas

Mehfilon ki roshni mein, ek saya chhupa tha,
Shehzade ka sapna, mere dil mein basa tha.
Sazaa likhi thi taqdeer ke hathoñ ne,
Mohabbat ki raah mein, sirf dukh mila tha.

Main hoon Anarkali, ishq ka qafas hoon,
Mohabbat ki dushman yeh duniya sabak hoon.
Dil ka har shikva, mere aansuon se behta,
Deewaron mein qaid, ek amar dastaan hoon.

Shehnaiyon ki dhun thi, par dukh ka saaz baja,
Mere armaanon ko, phir zinda dafan kiya.
Ek mulk ki soorat, ek hukum ka bandhan,
Mera pyaar masroof tha, ek sazaa ka farmaan.

Patthar bane darwaze, saans meri roke,
Dil ki cheekhein aaj bhi rang-mahal mein goonje.
Shehzada bhi roya, par samay tha beraham,
Mohabbat ke safar mein, sirf khamoshi ka sang.

Jab bhi chand chamkega, kahani phir zinda hogi,
Meri aahen hawaon mein geet banke gungunayengi.
Main Anarkali hoon, mohabbat ki misaal hoon,
Ek shama hoon, jo andheron mein bhi roshan hoon...
