har taraf gahri siyaahi hai muhit-e-'ishq mein — Anees Ashfaq

to kyaa huaa jo galaa ye rasan mein rahne lagaa
maza to daana-e-haq kaa dahan mein rahne lagaa

dekhaa hai kisi aahu-e-khush-chashm ko us ne
aankhon mein bahut us ki chamak aai hui hai

is pe hairaan hain kharidaar ki qimat hai bahut
mere gauhar ki tab-o-taab nahin dekhte hain

ye khaana hamesha se viraan hai
kahaan koi dil ke makaan mein rahaa

ham tere aasmaan mein ai harf-e-e'tibaar
uDnaa to chaahte hain magar par kahaan se laaein

dastak pe ab gharon se koi boltaa nahin
pahle ye shahr shahr-e-'adam-raftagaan na thaa

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

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

shauq hai tujh ko zamaane mein tiraa naam rahe
aur mujhe Dar hai mohabbat miri bad-naam na ho

kabhi tegh-e-tez supurd ki kabhi tohfa-e-gul-e-tar diyaa
kisi shaah-zaadi ke ishq ne miraa dil sitaaron se bhar diyaa

husn kaa har khayaal raushan hai
ishq kaa muddaaa kise maalum
