vaqt ki qabr mein ulfat kaa bharam rakhne ko — Ahmad Rahi

dil se dil nazron se nazron ke ulajhne kaa samaan
jaise sahraaon mein niind aai ho divaanon ko

mire habib miri muskuraahaTon pe na jaa
khudaa-gavaah mujhe aaj bhi tiraa gham hai

ab na kaaba ki tamannaa na kisi but ki havas
ab to zinda huun kisi markaz-e-insaan ke liye

dil ke sunsaan jaziron ki khabar laaegaa
dard pahlu se judaa ho ke kahaan jaaegaa

zindagi ke vo kisi moD pe gaahe gaahe
mil to jaate hain mulaaqaat kahaan hoti hai

kahin ye apni mohabbat ki intihaa to nahin
bahut dinon se tiri yaad bhi nahin aai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dar-asl main ne mashaqqat nahin mohabbat ki
hatheliyon pe nahin mere dil pe chhaale hain

sharaab-e-husn-o-mohabbat fashurda-e-anjum
anis-e-shaam-o-sahar hamdam-e-vajud-o-adam

abhi takmil-e-ulfat par na dil maghrur ho jaae
ye manzil vo hai jitni tai ho utni duur ho jaae

ishq mein nisbat nahin bulbul ko parvaane ke saath
vasl mein vo jaan de ye hijr mein jiiti rahe
