kaT gai ehtiyaat-e-ishq mein umr — Hasrat Mohani

gham-e-aarzu kaa 'hasrat' sabab aur kyaa bataaun
miri himmaton ki pasti mire shauq ki bulandi

raat din naama-o-paighaam kahaan tak doge
saaf kah dijiye milnaa hamein manzur nahin

'hasrat' bahut hai martaba-e-aashiqi buland
tujh ko to muft logon ne mashhur kar diyaa

taasir-e-barq-e-husn jo un ke sukhan mein thi
ik larzish-e-khafi mire saare badan mein thi

ham kyaa karein agar na tiri aarzu karein
duniyaa mein aur bhi koi tere sivaa hai kyaa

chhup nahin sakti chhupaane se mohabbat ki nazar
paD hi jaati hai rukh-e-yaar pe hasrat ki nazar

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

yuun mohabbat se na ham khaana-ba-doshon ko bulaa
itne saada hain ki ghar-baar uThaa laaeinge

chale ho dasht ko 'naazim' agar mile majnun
zaraa hamaari taraf se bhi pyaar kar lenaa

sard-mehri se tiri garmi-e-ulfat na rahi
dil mein uThtaa thaa jo har-dam vo sharaara bhi gayaa

phir nahin mere sivaa koi bhi hotaa teraa
tu agar jaan ye jaataa ki mohabbat kyaa hai
