rahi meri shayad dua nisf se kam

rahi meri shayad du'a nisf se kam
mila mujh ko jo kuchh mila nisf se kam
ye rah-e-mohabbat hai tauba ki is mein
main gir kar utha par utha nisf se kam


talash un ki ab tak rahi hai adhuri
wo jin ko mila hai khuda nisf se kam
nahin kuchh bura kar saka us ka tufan
bujhi sham' jab thi hawa nisf se kam


tere ru-baru le ke aai jo qismat
main lagne laga ba-khuda nisf se kam
kuchh aise guzari tere is jahan mein
kaha nisf se kam suna nisf se kam


mohabbat 'ibaadat khumari shikayat
'khayal' aap ki har ada nisf se kam
