ishq-e-mizhgaan mein hazaaron ne gale kaTvaae — Shad Lakhnavi

lagaa ke ThaT hai har suunaa muraadi
tamannaa-e-dili nikle kidhar se

khudaa kaa Dar na hotaa gar bashar ko
khudaa jaane ye banda kyaa na kartaa

visaal-e-yaar se duunaa huaa ishq
maraz baDhtaa gayaa juun juun davaa ki

na taDapne ki ijaazat hai na fariyaad ki hai
ghuT ke mar jaaun ye marzi mire sayyaad ki hai

javaani se ziyaada vaqt-e-piri josh hotaa hai
bhaDaktaa hai charaagh-e-subh jab khaamosh hotaa hai

ham na bigDeinge agar chasm-numaai hogi
phir kahin aankh laDaai to laDaai hogi

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain

mohabbat karne vaale dard mein tanhaa nahin hote
jo ruThoge kabhi mujh se to apnaa dil dukhaaoge
