visaal-e-yaar gar haraam hai to sun — Naeem Sarmad

kaisi biptaa paal rakhi hai qurbat ki aur duuri ki
khushbu maar rahi hai mujh ko apni hi kasturi ki

ab ki sardi mein kahaan hai vo alaav siina
ab ki sardi mein mujhe khud ko jalaanaa hogaa

jaanne vaale maanne vaalon se afzal hai dhyaan rahe
majnun mat ban hosh mein rah aur phir laila kaa bhed samajh

vo ek laDki jo mar rahi hai hayaa ke maare
vo ek laDkaa jo dekhne par tulaa huaa hai

ham logon ko paani achchhaa lagtaa hai
ham logon ne miTTi pahni hui hai dost

main ik khvaab huun teraa dekhaa huaa huun
tu ik niind hai mujh mein soi paDi hai

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram
