Khalid,

One thing looks wrong for sure:

'file' => 'lists.module',

I'm not sure if that's causing the problem, but it instructs the menu
system to include the module file again. 'file' should only be used
with .inc files.

Also, don't use t() anywhere - titles, etc are localized dynamically.

Finally (and most importantly), the access part is wrong. Since you
are using the defaullt callback (user_access), you can have something
like this:

function lists_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['lists'] = array(
'title' => 'Mailing lists',
'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'page arguments' => array('lists_subscribe_form'),
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
