lazzat-e-dard mili jurm-e-mohabbat mein use — Akhtar Muslimi

dehaat ke basne vaale to ikhlaas ke paikar hote hain
ai kaash nai tahzib ki rau shahron se na aati gaanv mein

mire dil pe haath rakh kar mujhe dene vaale taskin
kahin dil ki dhaDkanon se tujhe choT aa na jaae

ek hi anjaam hai ai dost husn o ishq kaa
shama bhi bujhti hai parvaanon ke jal jaane ke baad

fareb-khurda hai itnaa ki mere dil ko abhi
tum aa chuke ho magar intizaar baaqi hai

mere kirdaar mein muzmar hai tumhaaraa kirdaar
dekh kar kyuun miri tasvir khafaa ho tum log

di us ne mujh ko jurm-e-mohabbat ki vo sazaa
kuchh be-qusur log sazaa maangne lage

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ab us ko sochte hain aur hanste jaate hain
ki tere gham se ta'alluq rahaa hai kitni der

kal laD gayaa ki aur pe aashiq hai tu 'asad'
aayaa hai jab vo yaan to ik ilzaam de gayaa

jab yaad mein taDpein to mohabbat ko baDhaa dein
khud dard-e-mohabbat ki masihaai mohabbat
