ham ko mili hai ishq se ik aah-e-soz-naak — Raza Azimabadi

khushaa ho kar butaan kab aashiqon ko yaad karte hain
'razaa' hairaan huun main kis baat par hai utnaa bholaa tu

sunte to the 'razaa' hain sab hain baDe musalmaan
par kufr mein ziyaada nikle vo barahman se

dekhi thi ek raat tiri zulf khvaab mein
phir jab talak jiyaa main pareshaan hi rahaa

imaarat dair o masjid ki bani hai iinT o patthar se
dil-e-viraana ki kis chiiz se taamir hoti hai

kaabe mein shaikh mujh ko samjhe zalil lekin
sau shukr mai-kade mein hai e'tibaar apnaa

ik dam ke vaaste na kiyaa kyaa kyaa ai 'razaa'
dekhaa chhupaayaa toDaa banaayaa kahaa sunaa

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

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

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

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
