tujh se milne par but-e-bedard ye uqda khulaa — 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

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

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

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

aansu jo bahein surkh to ho jaati hain aankhein
dil aisaa sulagtaa hai dhuaan tak nahin aataa

zindagi to sapnaa hai kaun 'raam' apnaa hai
kyaa kisi ko dukh denaa kyaa kisi kaa gham karnaa

nazar-e-taghaaful-e-yaar kaa gila kis zabaan siin karun bayaan
ki sharaab-e-sad-qadah aarzu khum-e-dil mein thi so bhari rahi
