adaa-e-husn ne bakhshi hai taaqat-e-parvaaz — Maslihuddin Ahmad Aseer Kakorvi

ruuh ki gahraaiyon mein Duub kar dekhaa karo
ek dhokaa hai nazar kaa ye saraasar saamne

film ki gardish se tasvirein badalti hi rahin
umr-e-rafta kaa na aayaa phir vo manzar saamne

ruuh hai mahv-e-tamannaa husn hai mast-e-tarab
ik niyaaz-o-naaz kaa barpaa hai mahshar saamne

dil ki hai sarmaaya-daar-e-izzat o naamus-e-husn
hai yahi markaz yahi hai daaera mere liye

DhunDne vaalo zaraa zauq-e-nazar bhi chaahiye
varna laakhon hi zamin-o-aasmaan dekhaa kiye

ishq ne paidaa kiyaa hai ek dil
husn vaalo ek jalvaa chaahiye

saadgi o purkaari be-khudi o hushyaari
husn ko taghaaful mein jurat-aazmaa paayaa

meraa azm itnaa buland hai ki paraae sholon kaa Dar nahin
mujhe khauf aatish-e-gul se hai ye kahin chaman ko jalaa na de

dikhaai khvaab mein di thi Tuk ik munh ki jhalak ham kuun
nahin taaqat ankhiyon ke kholne ki ab talak ham kuun

apne hi fan ki aag mein jalte rahe 'shamim'
honTon pe sab ke hausla-afzaai rah gai

ham ne iraada tark-e-tamannaa kaa jab kiyaa
teraa khayaal ai dil-e-naakaam aa gayaa

jaataa hai chalaa qaafila-e-ashk shab o roz
maalum nahin us kaa iraada hai kahaan kaa
