ik baar tujhe aql ne chaahaa thaa bhulaanaa — Mahirul Qadri

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

agar khamosh rahun main to tu hi sab kuchh hai
jo kuchh kahaa to tiraa husn ho gayaa mahdud

naqaab-e-rukh uThaayaa jaa rahaa hai
vo nikli dhuup saayaa jaa rahaa hai

ye kah ke dil ne mire hausle baDhaae hain
ghamon ki dhuup ke aage khushi ke saae hain

yahi hai zindagi apni yahi hai bandagi apni
ki un kaa naam aayaa aur gardan jhuk gai apni

ibtidaa vo thi ki jiine ke liye martaa thaa main
intihaa ye hai ki marne ki bhi hasrat na rahi

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

jab bhi aql banaati hai pahlaa misraa
dil ko misra-e-saani honaa paDtaa hai

shaagird-e-rashid aap saa huun shaikh-ji saahib
kuchh ilm o amal tum ne na shaitaan mein chhoDaa

gaaDi mein bhi ghar ko soche jaataa huun
gaaDi aage aur main pichhe jaataa huun

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