aankhon se mohabbat ke ishaare nikal aae — Mansoor Usmani

haalaat kyaa ye tere bichhaDne se ho gae
lagtaa hai jaise ham kisi mele mein kho gae

mujh se dilli ki nahin dil ki kahaani suniye
shahr to ye bhi kai baar luTaa hai mujh mein

jahaan jahaan koi urdu zabaan boltaa hai
vahin vahin miraa hindostaan boltaa hai

apni taarif suni hai to ye sach bhi sun le
tujh se achchhaa tiraa kirdaar nahin ho saktaa

pahle to us ki yaad ne sone nahin diyaa
phir us ki aahaTon ne kahaa jaagte raho

shabnam ki jagah aag ki baarish ho magar ham
'mansur' na maangeinge duaa aur tarah ki

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq phir ishq hai aashufta-sari maange hai
hosh ke daur mein bhi jaama-dari maange hai

yaa to khud ko sipurd-e-'ishq na kar
yaa jo hotaa hai phir malaal na puchh

mohabbat ke aadaab sikho zaraa
use jaan kah kar pukaaraa karo

itnaa hairaan na ho meri anaa par pyaare
ishq mein bhi kai khuddaar nikal aate hain
