haan ai gham-e-ishq mujh ko pahchaan — Shohrat Bukhari

ye kis azaab mein chhoDaa hai tu ne is dil ko
sukun yaad mein teri na bhulne mein qaraar

kuchh aisaa dhuaan hai ki ghuTTi jaati hain saansein
is raat ke baa'd aaoge shaayad na kabhi yaad

ham-safar ho to koi apnaa-saa
chaand ke saath chaloge kab tak

har samt falak-bos pahaaDon ki qataarein
'khusrav' hai na 'shirin' hai na tesha hai na farhaad

jab tujhe bhulnaa chaahaa dil ne
ik nae gham ki sazaa di ham ne

parde mein khamoshi ke burqe mein udaasi ke
shaayad koi aa jaae darvaaza khulaa rakhnaa

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

ik rivaayat hai jo sadiyon se chali aati hai
ik taraf ishq hai aur ek taraf duniyaa hai

lahu na ho to qalam tarjumaan nahin hotaa
hamaare daur mein aansu zabaan nahin hotaa

ruh-o-badan mein jaari hai ik maarka-e-khun sadiyon se
ek havaala miTTi kaa hai ek havaala paani kaa
