ratb-o-yaabis mein hai tasarruf-e-ishq — Imdad Ali Bahr

qaazi ko jo rind kuchh chaTaa dein
masjid ki baghal mein mai-kada ho

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dil is tarah havaa-e-mohabbat mein jal gayaa
bhaDki kahin na aag na uTThaa dhuaan kahin

duniyaa tere naam se mujh ko pahchaane
ishq mein aisaa rusvaa kar de yaa-allaah

kyaa kyaa dil-e-muztar ke armaan machalte hain
tasvir-e-qayaamat hai zaalim tiri angDaai
