fareb-e-ahd-e-mohabbat ki saadgi ki qasam — Firaq Gorakhpuri

tiraa visaal baDi chiiz hai magar ai dost
visaal ko miri duniyaa-e-aarzu na banaa

samajhnaa kam na ham ahl-e-zamin ko
utarte hain sahife aasmaan se

tire pahlu mein kyuun hotaa hai mahsus
ki tujh se duur hotaa jaa rahaa huun

ek muddat se tiri yaad bhi aai na hamein
aur ham bhuul gae hon tujhe aisaa bhi nahin

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahaT jaan lete hain
tujhe ai zindagi ham duur se pahchaan lete hain

sunte hain ishq naam ke guzre hain ik buzurg
ham log bhi faqir usi silsile ke hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

kuchh aur vus'atein darkaar hain mohabbat ko
visaal-o-hijr pe daar-o-madaar mushkil hai

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai
