umidon se karo aazaad aur phir — Euphonic Amit

hijr mein shiddat dikhaate hain sabhi 'aashiq magar
lutf tab hai vasl ho par aarzu baaqi rahe

jo haqiqat se khauf khaane lage
khvaab aise main dekhtaa hi nahin

aap ne jis ko farishte kaa diyaa thaa darja
us ki insaanon si fitrat hai to hairat kyaa hai

jo auron ko uDte hue dekhtaa ho
vo pinjre mein kaise sukun se rahegaa

mire qalam ki siyaahi mein 'ishq hai teraa
miraa ye naam ye shohrat tiri badaulat hai

naache hai mohabbat ki ye sur taal pe khud hi
dil ko ye hunar yaar sikhaayaa nahin jaataa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

Tapak ke dida-e-nam se sadaaein detaa hai
jo ek harf-e-tamannaa dil-e-tabaah mein thaa

mohabbat zulf kaa aaseb jaadu hai nigaahon kaa
mohabbat fitna-e-mahshar balaa-e-naa-gahaani hai

'khaar' ulfat ki baat jaane do
zindagi kis ko saazgaar aai

ishq ke shoale ko bhaDkaao ki kuchh raat kaTe
dil ke angaare ko dahkaao ki kuchh raat kaTe
