junun bhi zahmat khirad bhi laanat hai zakhm-e-dil ki davaa mohabbat — Akhtar Orenwi

main muntazir huun teri tamannaa liye hue
aa jaa farogh-e-husn ki duniyaa liye hue

kitne taabaan the vo lamhaat tire pahlu mein
do ghaDi meri bhi firdaus minaa guzri hai

na mizaaj-e-naaz-e-jalva kabhi paa sakin nigaahein
ki ulajh ke rah gai hain tiri zulf-e-kham-ba-kham mein

miri aarzu ki taskin na karam mein ne sitam mein
miraa dil mudaam tishna tiri rah ke pech-o-kham mein

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

vo jis ne dekhaa nahin ishq kaa kabhi maktab
main us ke haath mein dil ki kitaab kyaa detaa

chand logon ki mohabbat bhi ghanimat hai miyaan
shahr kaa shahr hamaaraa to nahin ho saktaa

main ek ishq mein naakaam kyaa huaa 'gauhar'
har ek kaam mein mujh ko khasaaraa hone lagaa

bichhaDne kaa iraada hai to mujh se mashvara kar lo
mohabbat mein koi bhi faisla zaati nahin hotaa
