ishq se to nahin huun main vaaqif — 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

ve suratein ilaahi kis mulk bastiyaan hain
ab dekhne ko jin ke aankhein tarastiyaan hain

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain

mohabbat ne 'maail' kiyaa har kisi ko
kisi par kisi ko kisi par kisi ko

mushkil-e-ishq mein laazim hai tahammul 'saaqib'
baat bigDi hui banti nahin ghabraane se

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge
