jab siin laayaa ishq ne fauj-e-junun — Siraj Aurangabadi

dekhaa hai jis ne yaar ke rukhsaar ki taraf
hargiz na jaave sair kuun gulzaar ki taraf

boltaa huun jo vo bulaataa hai
tan ke pinjre mein us kaa totaa huun

vaqt hai ab namaaz-e-maghrib kaa
chaand rukh lab shafaq hai gesu shaam

tahqiq ki nazar siin aakhir kuun ham ne dekhaa
akasr hain maal vaale kam hain kamaal vaale

masjid vahshat mein paDhtaa hai taraavih-e-junun
mushaf husn-e-pari-rukhsaar jis kuun yaad hai

vo ajab ghaDi thi main jis ghaDi liyaa dars nuskha-e-ishq kaa
ki kitaab aql ki taaq par juun dhari thi tyuun hi dhari rahi

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dil qanaaat zaraa si kartaa to
har mohabbat thi aakhiri meri

mohabbaton ke liye umr kam hai so vo shakhs
sabhi shikaayatein kuchh din idhar udhar kar de

'ishq ki fitrat sadaa aazaad hai
qaid mein dair-o-haram ki kab rahaa

kaun uThaae ishq ke anjaam ki jaanib nazar
kuchh asar baaqi hain ab tak hairat-e-aaghaaz ke
