qafas mein ho dil-e-bulbul shahid-e-jalva-e-gul — Hasrat Mohani

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

barsaat ke aate hi tauba na rahi baaqi
baadal jo nazar aae badli meri niyat bhi

khirad kaa naam junun paD gayaa junun kaa khirad
jo chaahe aap kaa husn-e-karishma-saaz kare

iqraar hai ki dil se tumhein chaahte hain ham
kuchh is gunaah ki bhi sazaa hai tumhaare paas

aise bigDe ki phir jafaa bhi na ki
dushmani kaa bhi haq adaa na huaa

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'ishq mein intihaa ki had na hui
'aashiqi teri mustanad na hui

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
