ye vasl ki khvaahish bhi miyaan bul-havasi hai — Haneef Najmi

mili na ham ko shahaadat to kyaa ye kyaa kam hai
ki saari 'umr rah-e-karbalaa pe chalte rahe

tire gham ne 'ataa ki hai 'ajab paakizgi mujh ko
main rotaa huun to aankhon se miri zamzam nikaltaa hai

hai dida-var to ek nazar mein parakh mujhe
laazim nahin kisi ko kai baar dekhnaa

bhalaa vo khaak samjheinge khudaa kyaa hai khudi kyaa hai
jo ab tak ye nahin samjhe maqaam-e-aadmi kyaa hai

bisaat-e-khaak par behad qad-aavar lag rahe the jo
bulandi par pahunch kar vo bahut chhoTe nazar aae

shaa'iri kyaa hai miri jaan tujhe maa'lum nahin
ek tohmat hai jo mujh par bhi lagaa di gai hai

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

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aaghaaz-e-mohabbat mein 'aajiz' rukti na thi mauj-e-ashk-e-ravaan
anjaam ab in khushk aankhon se ik ashk nikalnaa mushkil hai
