tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar — Jaleel Manikpuri

aaj hai vo bahaar kaa mausam
phuul toDun to haath jaam aae

pyaari surat vo haae kyaa hogi
jis ko be-dekhe pyaar aataa hai

sote mein vo jo mujh se ham-aaghosh ho gae
jitne gile the khvaab-e-faraamosh ho gae

mohabbat ek taraf se mazaa nahin deti
kuchh iztiraab tujhe ho kuchh iztiraab mujhe

kah do ye kohkan se ki marnaa nahin kamaal
mar mar ke hijr-e-yaar mein jiinaa kamaal hai

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

naasehaa puchhte phirte hain sabab uljhan kaa
'ishq gar khud ye karein hosh Thikaane lag jaaein

taa-falak le gai betaabi-e-dil tab bole
hazrat-e-ishq ki pahlaa hai ye ziinaa apnaa

haan kuchh bhi to derina mohabbat kaa bharam rakh
dil se na aa duniyaa ko dikhaane ke liye aa

vo to kahiye aap ki ulfat mein dil bahlaa rahaa
varna duniyaa chaar din bhi rahne ke qaabil na thi
