'bedaar' raah-e-ishq kisi se na tai hui — Meer Mohammadi Bedar

nahin kuchh abr hi shaagird meri ashk-baari kaa
sabaq leti hai mujh se barq bhi aa be-qaraari kaa

kis tarah haal-e-dil kahun us gul se baagh mein
phirti hai us ke saath to har-dam sabaa lagi

junun ne dast-kaari aisi bhi ki
na thaa goyaa garebaan pairahan mein

ayaan hai shakl tiri yuun hamaare siina se
ki juun sharaab numaayaan ho aabgina se

saaye se apne vahshat karte hain misl-e-aahu
mushkil hai haath lagnaa az-khud ramidgaan kaa

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

vo log jo ki 'ishq ke ab tak asiir the
guzri kahaaniyon ke fasaane lage mujhe

shaikh le hai raah kaabe ki barahman dair ki
ishq kaa rasta judaa hai kufr aur islaam se

ghaur se dekho mujhe aur phir kaho
kaise kaison ko mohabbat khaa gai

roz milne pe bhi lagtaa thaa ki jug biit gae
ishq mein vaqt kaa ehsaas nahin rahtaa hai
