vo zulf-e-mushk-bu bikhri hui thi — 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

ye raat yunhi basar ho gai to kyaa hogaa
tire baghair sahar ho gai to kyaa hogaa

jaam-ba-dast-o-mai-ba-jaam yuun hi guzaar subh-o-shaam
ziist ki talkhiyaan mudaam pi ke pilaa ke bhuul jaa

aati hai yaad subh-e-masarrat ki baar baar
khurshid aate aate use kal uThaa to laa

ham siin maston ko bas hai teri nigaah
subh uTh kar khumaar ki khaatir

niind aati nahin to subah talak
gard-e-mahtaab kaa safar dekho

subh savere ran paDnaa hai aur ghamsaan kaa ran
raaton raat chalaa jaae jis ko jaanaa hai
