mohabbat kaa rasta ajab garm thaa — Meer Hasan

na gharaz mujh ko hai kaafir se na din-daar se kaam
roz-o-shab hai mujhe us kaakul-e-khamdaar se kaam

mat ponchh abru-e-araq-aalud haath se
laazim hai ehtiyaat ki hai aab-daar tegh

taaki ibrat karein aur ghair na dekhein tujh ko
ji mein aataa hai nikalvaaiye do-chaar ki aankh

guzri hai raat mujh mein aur dil mein turfa sohbat
idhar to main ne ki aah udhar se vo karaahaa

mat bakht-e-khufta par mire hans ai raqib tu
hogaa tire nasib bhi ye khvaab dekhnaa

furqat ki shab mein aaj ki phir kyaa jalaaveinge
dil kaa diyaa thaa ek so kal hi jalaa diyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq kaa duur kare dil se jo dhaDkaa taaviz
is dhaDaake kaa koi ham ne na dekhaa taaviz

tujh se miraa muaamla hotaa ba-raah-e-raast
ye ishq darmiyaan na hotaa to Thiik thaa

kitni baatein banaa ke laaun lek
yaad rahtin tire huzur nahin

fariyaad ko majnun ki sune kaun jahaan hon
likkhun dil-e-naalaan jaras-e-mahmil-e-lailaa
