zulfein siina naaf kamar — Jan Nisar Akhtar

ye ilm kaa saudaa ye risaale ye kitaabein
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain

ashaar mire yuun to zamaane ke liye hain
kuchh sher faqat un ko sunaane ke liye hain

dil ko har lamha bachaate rahe jazbaat se ham
itne majbur rahe hain kabhi haalaat se ham

ishq mein kyaa nuqsaan nafa hai ham ko kyaa samjhaate ho
ham ne saari umr hi yaaro dil kaa kaarobaar kiyaa

tujhe baanhon mein bhar lene ki khvaahish yuun ubharti hai
ki main apni nazar mein aap rusvaa ho saa jaataa huun

itne maayus to haalaat nahin
log kis vaaste ghabraae hain
