lutf-e-sohbat mataa-e-ulfat hai — Abdul Mannan Tarzi

dard kaa silsila hai jahaan tak
dil ki jaagir hogi vahaan tak

teri yaadon ke lamhe bhi bedard the
tujh ko mujh se churaate rahe raat-bhar

is kashmakash mein teri gali se pare rahe
aae kahaan pe harf kahaan par na aae harf

naam-levaa tumhaaraa hai 'tarzi'
aadmi ki tarah milo pyaare

ik qayaamat hai aap kaa vaada
chaliye ye bhi azaab ho jaae

himmat-e-tark-e-vafaa Duub gai
kis ne aankhon mein utaaraa dariyaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham to apnon se bhi begaana hue ulfat mein
tum jo ghairon se mile tum ko na ghairat aai

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain
