naqaab-e-rukh uThaayaa jaa rahaa hai — 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

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

ik baar tujhe aql ne chaahaa thaa bhulaanaa
sau baar junun ne tiri tasvir dikhaa di

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
