agar kaar-e-ulfat ko mushkil samajh luun — Azad Ansari

vo kaafir-nigaahein khudaa ki panaah
jidhar phir gaiin faisla ho gayaa

ham ko na mil sakaa to faqat ik sukun-e-dil
ai zindagi vagarna zamaane mein kyaa na thaa

didaar ki talab ke tariqon se be-khabar
didaar ki talab hai to pahle nigaah maang

afsos be-shumaar sukhan-haa-e-guftani
khauf-e-fasaad-e-khalq se naa-gufta rah gae

sazaaein to har haal mein laazmi thiin
khataaein na kar ke pashemaaniyaan hain

banda-parvar main vo banda huun ki bahr-e-bandagi
jis ke aage sar jhukaa dungaa khudaa ho jaaegaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'aarzu' be-asar mohabbat chhoD
kyuun kare kaam jab nahin aataa

bataaun kyaa tujhe ai ham-nashin kis se mohabbat hai
main jis duniyaa mein rahtaa huun vo is duniyaa ki aurat hai

ishq akhbaar kab kaa band huaa
dil miraa aakhiri shumaara hai

tere kuche mein hai sakun varna
har zamin aasmaan hai pyaare
