Ismail Merathi

kabhi bhuul kar kisi se na karo suluk aisa
ki jo tum se koi karta tumhen nagavar hota

sub.h ke bhule to aa.e shaam ko
dekhiye kab aa.en bhule shaam ke

maana buri khabar hai pa teri khabar to hai
sabr-o-qarar nazr karun nama-bar ko main

diid va diid ki rukhsat hi sahi
mere hisse ki qayamat hi sahi

dilbari jazb-e-mohabbat ka karishma hai faqat
kuchh karamat nahin jaadu nahin e.ajaz nahin

dosti aur kisi gharaz ke liye
vo tijarat hai dosti hi nahin

thi chheD usi taraf se varna
main aur majaal aarzu ki

dariyaa ki tarah ravaan huun lekin
ab tak bhi vahin huun main jahaan huun

haan dil-e-be-taab chande intizaar
amn-o-raahat kaa Thikaana aur hai

roz-e-jazaa mein aakhir puchhaa na jaaegaa kyaa
teraa ye chup lagaanaa meraa savaal karnaa

samajhte hain sheron ko bhi narm chaara
ghazaalaan-e-shahri se hoshyaar rahnaa

dilbari jazb-e-mohabbat kaa karishma hai faqat
kuchh karaamat nahin jaadu nahin eajaaz nahin
