sharaab-e-husn-o-mohabbat fashurda-e-anjum — 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

khurush-e-sarsar-o-tufaan jamud-e-dasht-o-saraab
surud-e-fasl-e-bahaaraan khiraam-e-gardish-e-yam

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mujh ko har lamha miri maan se mohabbat hai 'rabaab'
main kisi roz bhulaa duun use mumkin hi nahin

ye tajraba huaa hai mohabbat ki raah mein
kho kar milaa jo ham ko vo paa kar nahin milaa

banaate hain hazaaron zakhm-e-khandaan khanjar-e-gham se
dil-e-naashaad ko ham is tarah pur-shaad karte hain

ye kah ke us ne mujhe makhmase mein Daal diyaa
milaao haath agar vaaqai mohabbat hai
