kitaab-e-ishq mein har aah ek aayat hai — Umair Najmi

kisi gali mein kiraae pe ghar liyaa us ne
phir us gali mein gharon ke kiraae baDhne lage

us ki tah se kabhi daryaaft kiyaa jaaungaa main
jis samundar mein ye sailaab ikaTThe honge

bichhaD gae to ye dil umr bhar lagegaa nahin
lagegaa lagne lagaa hai magar lagegaa nahin

tum pe kyaa khaak asar hogaa mire sheron kaa
tum ko to mir-taqi-'mir' nahin khinch sakaa

ye saat uTh paDosi kahaan se aae mire
tumhaare dil mein to koi na thaa sivaae mire

nikaal laayaa huun ek pinjre se ik parinda
ab is parinde ke dil se pinjra nikaalnaa hai

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

khun-e-jigar aankhon se bahaayaa gham kaa sahraa paar kiyaa
teri tamannaa ki kyaa ham ne jivan ko aazaar kiyaa

tanhaai ko ghar se rukhsat kar to do
socho kis ke ghar jaaegi tanhaai

ab is se baDh ke mohabbat kisi ko kyaa degi
kisi ki aankh kaa aansu kisi ki aankh mein hai
