aashob-e-iztiraab mein khaTkaa jo hai to ye — Iqbal Sohail

jo tasavvur se maavaraa na huaa
vo to banda huaa khudaa na huaa

na rahaa koi taar daaman mein
ab nahin haajat-e-rafu mujh ko

husn-e-fitrat ki aabru mujh se
aab o gil mein hai rang-o-bu mujh se

khaakistar-e-dil mein to na thaa ek sharar bhi
bekaar use barbaad kiyaa mauj-e-sabaa ne

vo shabnam kaa sukun ho yaa ki parvaane ki betaabi
agar uDne ki dhun hogi to honge baal-o-par paidaa

kuchh aisaa hai fareb-e-nargis-e-mastaana barson se
ki sab bhule hue hain kaaba o but-khaana barson se

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

yahi dil jo ik buund hai bahr-e-gham ki
Dubo degaa sab shahr tufaan kar ke

ye tanhaa raat ye gahri fazaaein
use DhunDein ki us ko bhuul jaaein
