jab tumhaari ye maatami aankhein — Mehshar Afridi

zamin par ghar banaayaa hai magar jannat mein rahte hain
hamaari khush-nasibi hai ki ham bhaarat mein rahte hain

'aql aur 'ishq laDte rahe der tak
'aql maari gai 'ishq zinda rahaa

vo kuchh ghalat nahin thaa hamin bevaquf the
shishe ko saaf karte rahe is taraf se ham

visaal-e-yaar furqaton ki rut badal nahin rahaa
badan qaraar paa gayaa hai dil sanbhal nahin rahaa

tumhaare husn ko kab tak varaq varaq paDhte
so ek raat mein puuri kitaab paDh Daali

zaraa baahon ke halqe aur kas lo
mohabbat saans lenaa chaahti hai

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

subh hoti hai to kunj-e-khush-gumaani mein kahin
pheink di jaati hai shab bhar ki siyaahi baandh kar

is bhare shahr mein din raat Thaharte hi nahin
kaun yaadon ke safar-naame ko tahrir kare

mujhe to ishq hai phulon mein sirf khushbu se
bulaa rahi hai kisi laala ki mahak mujh ko
