un kaa jo farz hai vo ahl-e-siyaasat jaanein — Jigar Moradabadi

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

meri nigaah-e-shauq bhi kuchh kam nahin magar
phir bhi tiraa shabaab tiraa hi shabaab hai

vo nazron hi nazron mein savaalaat ki duniyaa
vo aankhon hi aankhon mein javaabaat kaa aalam

nigaah-e-shauq ne mahshar mein saaf taaD liyaa
kahaan vo chhupte ki aankhon mein the samaae hue

ham kahin aate hain vaaiz tire bahkaane mein
isi maikhaane ki miTTi isi maikhaane mein

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

in hi kaa naam mohabbat in hi kaa naam junun
miri nigaah ke dhoke tiri nazar ke fareb

khabar bhi hai tujhe is daftar-e-mohabbat ko
jalaane jalne mein kyaa kyaa zamaane lagte hain

baat khote jo iltijaa karte
ai dil-e-naa-muraad kyaa karte

talaash apni khud apne vajud ko kho kar
ye kaar-e-ishq hai is mein lagaa to main bhi huun
