husn ki daulat us ki hai aur vasl ki ishrat bhi us ki — Afzal Parvez

tum un ko sazaa kyuun nahin dete ki jinhon ne
mujrim kaa zamir aur sukun luuT liyaa hai

main to apni jaan pe khel ke pyaar ki baazi jiit gayaa
qaatil haar gae jo ab tak khuun ke chhinTe dhote hain

alakh jamaae dhuni ramaae dhyaan lagaae rahte hain
pyaar hamaaraa maslak hai ham prem-guru ke chele hain

apnaa ghar shahr-e-khamoshaan saa hai
kaun aaegaa yahaan shaam Dhale

kaarzaar-e-ishq-o-sar-masti mein nusrat-yaab hon
vo jununi daar tak jaane ko jo betaab huun

har musaafir tire kuche ko chalaa
us taraf chhaanv ghani ho jaise

kaisaa firaaq kaisi judaai kahaan kaa hijr
vo jaaegaa agar to khayaalon mein aaegaa

hijr ki shab naala-e-dil vo sadaa dene lage
sunne vaale raat kaTne ki duaa dene lage

kabhi khauf thaa tire hijr kaa kabhi aarzu ke zavaal kaa
rahaa hijr-o-vasl ke darmiyaan tujhe kho sakaa na main paa sakaa

mat dekh ki phirtaa huun tire hijr mein zinda
ye puchh ki jiine mein maza hai ki nahin hai

is balaa ko to khudaa jald kare shahr-badar
kaale paani ko ravaana shab-e-hijraan ho jaae

siine ke zor se bhi mu bhar nahin ukasti
in rozon hijr ki sil ye bhaari ho gai hai
