Mael Lakhnavi

nigah-e-naz ki pahli si barhami bhi ga.i
main dosti ko hi rota tha dushmani bhi ga.i

yaad aur un ki yaad ki allah-re mahviyat
jaise tamam umr ki fursat kharid li

mohabbat aur 'ma.il' jald-bazi kya qayamat hai
sukun-e-dil banega iztirab ahista ahista

nazar aur vus.at-e-nazar ma.alum
itni mahdud ka.enat nahin

da.ava-e-insaniyat 'ma.il' abhi zeba nahin
pahle ye socho kisi ke kaam aa sakta huun main

main ne dekhe hain dahakte hue phulon ke jigar
dil-e-bina men hai vo nuur tumhen kya ma.alum

nazar aur vusat-e-nazar maalum
itni mahdud kaaenaat nahin

yaad aur un ki yaad ki allaah-re mahviyat
jaise tamaam umr ki fursat kharid li

nigaah-e-naaz ki pahli si barhami bhi gai
main dosti ko hi rotaa thaa dushmani bhi gai

daavaa-e-insaaniyat 'maail' abhi zebaa nahin
pahle ye socho kisi ke kaam aa saktaa huun main

mohabbat aur 'maail' jald-baazi kyaa qayaamat hai
sukun-e-dil banegaa iztiraab aahista aahista

main ne dekhe hain dahakte hue phulon ke jigar
dil-e-binaa mein hai vo nuur tumhein kyaa maalum
