'aql kuchh kaam ki na thi 'asraar' — Riasath Ali Asrar

chaandni surkh si dikhaai de
ye moharram kaa chaand hai 'asraar'

ham na aae junun ke bas mein kabhi
ye garebaan khirad ne chaak kiyaa

be-karaan dasht-e-tasavvur mein bhaTakne ke nuqush
mauj-dar-mauj saraabon se ubharte honge

aap ham se judaa nahin hote
aap par ikhtiyaar hai koi

kyaa us se bichhaDte ki mile hi na the jis se
ik-tarfa mohabbat ke bhi hain zaaviye kyaa kyaa

mahv hain hazrat-e-khayaal apne
haal-e-dil mein muraaqiba baandhe

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

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

uThaa sakte nahin jab chuum kar hi chhoDnaa achchhaa
mohabbat kaa ye patthar is dafa bhaari ziyaada hai

sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai vaaiz
dekh maathe pe abhi chaand numaayaan hogaa
