sunaa haal-e-dil-e-'majruh' shab ko — Meer Mehdi Majrooh

churaa ke muTThi mein dil ko chhupaae baiThe hain
bahaanaa ye hai ki mehndi lagaae baiThe hain

shaghl-e-ulfat ko jo ahbaab buraa kahte hain
kuchh samajh mein nahin aataa ki ye kyaa kahte hain

itnaa mardud huun ki Dar hai mujhe
qabr se pheink de zamin na kahin

apni kashti kaa hai khudaa haafiz
pichhe tufaan hai saamne girdaab

kyuun paas mire aa kar yuun baiThe ho munh phere
kyaa lab tire misri hain main jin ko chabaa jaataa

aa hi kuudaa thaa dair mein vaaiz
ham ne Taalaa khudaa khudaa kar ke

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ye mohabbat kaa jo ambaar paDaa hai mujh mein
is liye hai ki miraa yaar paDaa hai mujh mein

mohabbat rahi chaar din zindagi mein
rahaa chaar din kaa asar zindagi bhar

charaagh-e-'ishq lab-e-baam chhoD aaya huun
rah-e-vafaa mein tiraa naam chhoD aaya huun

jiine bhi nahin dete marne bhi nahin dete
kyaa tum ne mohabbat ki har rasm uThaa Daali
