mire junun pe tumhein eatibaar aae na aae — Salim Saleem

main ghaTtaa jaa rahaa huun apne andar
tumhein itnaa ziyaada kar liyaa hai

is dil mein chubhaa rahtaa thaa kaanTe ki tarah vo
ik roz use main ne mohabbat se nikaalaa

kitne bekaar khudaaon ki ibaadat ki hai
aakhiri baar kisi but se shikaayat ki hai

aa rahaa hogaa vo daaman se havaa baandhe hue
aaj khushbu ko pareshaan kiyaa jaaegaa

charaagh-e-ishq badan se lagaa thaa kuchh aisaa
main bujh ke rah gayaa us ko havaa banaane mein

sunaa hai chaand ko uljhaa liyaa hai shaakhon ne
so ab charaagh darichon pe rakh diye jaaein

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

huaa aavaara hindostaan se 'lutf' aage khudaa jaane
deccan ke saanvlon ne maaraa yaa inglan ke goron ne

subh-dam sehn-e-gulistaan mein sabaa ke jhonke
aatish-e-dard-e-mohabbat ko havaa dete hain

na yahi ki zauq-e-nazar miraa saf-e-gul-rukhaan se guzar gayaa
main tiri talaash mein baar-haa mah-o-kahkashaan se guzar gayaa
