gulshan-e-khuld ki kyaa baat hai kyaa kahnaa hai — Hasan Barelvi

jaan agar ho jaan to kyun-kar na ho tujh par nisaar
dil agar ho dil tiri surat pe shaidaa kyuun na ho

dil ko jaanaan se 'hasan' samjhaa-bujhaa ke laae the
dil hamein samjhaa-bujhaa kar su-e-jaanaan le chalaa

ishq mein be-taabiyaan hoti hain lekin ai 'hasan'
jis qadar bechain tum ho us qadar koi na ho

o vasl mein munh chhupaane vaale
ye bhi koi vaqt hai hayaa kaa

kis ke chehre se uTh gayaa parda
jhilmilaae charaagh mahfil ke

dekh aao mariz-e-furqat ko
rasm-e-duniyaa bhi hai savaab bhi hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

vo jald aaeinge yaa der mein khudaa jaane
main gul bichhaaun ki kaliyaan bichhaaun bistar par

vo ye kah kar daagh dete hain mujhe
phuul se pahle samar aate nahin

ai ghubaar-e-khvaahish-e-yak-umr apni raah le
is gali mein tujh se pahle ik jahaan maujud hai
