khuub taazir-e-gunaah-e-ishq hai — Muneer Shikohabadi

sunti hai roz naghma-e-zanjir-e-aashiqaan
vo zulf bhi hai silsila-e-ahl-e-chisht mein

jis roz main gintaa huun tire aane ki ghaDiyaan
suraj ko banaa deti hai sone ki ghaDi baat

haath milvaate ho tarsaae gilauri ke liye
kaf-e-afsos na mal jaae kahin paanv mein

jab kabhi maski kaTori kyaa sadaa paidaa hui
karti hai angiyaa ki chiDiyaa chahchahaane ki havas

vird-e-ism-e-zaat kholaa chaahtaa hai ye girah
mere dil par daant hai allaah ki tashdid kaa

ho gayaa maamur aalam jab kiyaa darbaar-e-aam
takhliya chaahaa to duniyaa saaf khaali ho gai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham to apnon se bhi begaana hue ulfat mein
tum jo ghairon se mile tum ko na ghairat aai

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

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
