aankhon se dil ke diid ko maane nahin nafas — Ishq Aurangabadi

us ki aankhon ke agar vasf raqam kijiyegaa
shaakh-e-nargis ko qalam kar ke qalam kijiyegaa

gar shaikh ne aah ki to mat bhuul
dil mein patthar ke bhi sharar hai

'ishq' raushan thaa vahaan dida-e-aahu se charaagh
main jo yak raat gayaa qais ke kaashaane mein

aaina kabhi qaabil-e-didaar na hove
gar khaak ke saath us ko sarokaar na hove

tu ne kyaa dekhaa nahin gul kaa pareshaan ahvaal
ghuncha kyuun ainThaa huaa rahtaa hai zardaar ki tarah

ho gul bulbul tabhi bulbul pe bulbul phuul kar gul ho
tire gar gul-badan bar mein qabaa-e-chashm-e-bulbul ho

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

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

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

jiteinge na ham se baazi-e-ishq
aghyaar ke piT paDeinge paanse

ziist se tang ho ai 'daagh' to jiite kyuun ho
jaan pyaari bhi nahin jaan se jaate bhi nahin

ajnabi mujh se aa gale mil le
aaj ik dost yaad aae mujhe
