phir aai zulf-e-musalsal ki lahr pesh-e-nazar — Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

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

yuun hai Dalak badan ki us pairahan ki tah mein
surkhi badan ki jaise chhalke badan ki tah mein

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

jangal mein Tesu phulaa aur baagh mein shagufa
fasl-e-bahaar aai mausam gayaa khizaan kaa

jitnaa ki ye duniyaa mein hamein khvaar rakhe hai
itne to gunahgaar zamaane ke nahin ham

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
