khurush-e-sarsar-o-tufaan jamud-e-dasht-o-saraab — Izhaar Malihabadi

hazaar jaam chhalakte hue nafas-ba-nafas
hazaar baagh mahakte hue qadam-ba-qadam

jahaan hai sher charaagh-e-junun jalaae hue
vahaan khaDi hai khirad apnaa sar jhukaae hue

harim-e-dil mein jab aataa hai naaz farmaataa
tarab ke phuul khilaataa hai ye musavvir-e-gham

khumaar-e-dida-e-anjum sharaab-e-lail-o-nahaar
hikaayat-e-na-shunida nigaar-e-naa-mahram

subu-e-falsafa-e-ishq-o-kahkashaan-e-hayaat
shuaa-e-qahr-e-tabassum charaagh-e-dida-e-nam

na puchh sher hai kyaa chiiz mujh se ai hamdam
mizaaj-e-aatish-e-sozaan lataafat-e-shabnam

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun
