kise fursat ki farz-e-khidmat-e-ulfat bajaa laae — 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

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa
