fikr-e-maaash ishq-e-butaan yaad-e-raftagaan — Mohammad Rafi Sauda

ammaame ko utaar ke paDhiyo namaaz shaikh
sajde se varna sar ko uThaayaa na jaaegaa

kis munh se phir tu aap ko kahtaa hai ishq-baaz
ai ru-siyaah tujh se to ye bhi na ho sakaa

firaaq-e-khuld se gandum hai sina-chaak ab tak
ilaahi ho na vatan se koi gharib judaa

'saudaa' se shakhs ke taiin aazurda kijiye
ai khud-parast haif nahin tu vafaa-parast

ishq se to nahin huun main vaaqif
dil ko shoala saa kuchh lipaTtaa hai

ye to nahin kahtaa huun ki sach-much karo insaaf
jhuTi bhi tasalli ho to jiitaa hi rahun main

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

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

jis ghaDi ghurte ho ghussa se
nikle paDtaa hai pyaar aankhon mein
