begam se kah rahaa thaa ye koi khalaa-navard — Aziz Faisal

ishq mein ye tafraqa-baazi bahut maayub hai
pyaar ko shiia vahaabi aur sunni mat samajh

das baara ghazliyaat jo rakhtaa hai jeb mein
bazm-e-sukhan mein hai vo nishaani vabaal ki

na ye qaanun kaam aayaa thaa raanjhe ke zaraa saa bhi
usi ko bhains milti hai ho jis ke haath mein laaThi

kitni mazaahiya hai ye botal ke jin ki baat
aaqaa ab inqalaab hai do chaar din ki baat

aisi khvaahish ko samajhtaa huun main bilkul natural
doctor ko shahr kaa har mard o zan ill chaahiye

moarrikh likh na dein suqraat mujh ko
main lassi kaa piyaala pi rahaa huun

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

sunaa hai chaand ko uljhaa liyaa hai shaakhon ne
so ab charaagh darichon pe rakh diye jaaein

itni siyaah-raat mein itni si raushni
ye chaand vo nahin miraa mahtaab aur hai

bharpur nahin hain kisi chehre ke khad-o-khaal
dekhaa nahin vo chaand jo puuraa nazar aae

iid ke baa'd vo milne ke liye aae hain
iid kaa chaand nazar aane lagaa iid ke baad

chaand bhi hairaan dariyaa bhi pareshaani mein hai
aks kis kaa hai ki itni raushni paani mein hai
