mohabbat kaa tum se asar kyaa kahun — Akbar Allahabadi

is qadar thaa khaTmalon kaa chaarpaai mein hujum
vasl kaa dil se mire armaan rukhsat ho gayaa

yahi Thahri jo shart-e-vasl-e-lailaa
to istifaa miraa baa-hasrat-o-yaas

kaabe se jo but nikle bhi to kyaa kaaba hi gayaa jo dil se nikal
afsos ki but bhi ham se chhuTe qabze se khudaa kaa ghar bhi gayaa

izzat kaa hai na auj na neki ki mauj hai
hamla hai apni qaum pe lafzon ki fauj hai

maulvi saahib na chhoDeinge khudaa go bakhsh de
gher hi leinge police vaale sazaa ho yaa na ho

ham mein baaqi nahin ab khaalid-e-jaan-baaz kaa rang
dil pe ghaalib hai faqat hafiz-e-shiraaz kaa rang

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'ishq mein intihaa ki had na hui
'aashiqi teri mustanad na hui

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

kuchh aur vus'atein darkaar hain mohabbat ko
visaal-o-hijr pe daar-o-madaar mushkil hai

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai
