gulshan-e-khuld mein har-chand ki dil bahlaayaa — Zain

tumhaari rah kaa rahaa ham ko har taraf dhokaa
chale jidhar ko so be-ikhtiyaar ho ke chale

dam kaa aanaa to baDi baat hai lab par 'aarif'
zoaf ne harf-e-shikaayat kabhi aane na diyaa

tum apni zulf se puchho miri pareshaani
ki haal us ko hai maalum hu-ba-hu meraa

vo parda-nashini ki riaayat hai tumhaari
ham baat bhi khalvat se nikalne nahin dete

furqat mein kaar-e-vasl liyaa vaah vaah se
har aah-e-dil ke saath ik armaan nikal gayaa

saunp kar khaana-e-dil gham ko kidhar jaate ho
phir na paaoge agar us ne ye ghar chhoD diyaa

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

kaanTe se bhi nichoD li ghairon ne bu-e-gul
yaaron ne bu-e-gul se bhi kaanTaa banaa diyaa

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye

aaina khud bhi sanvartaa thaa hamaari khaatir
ham tire vaaste tayyaar huaa karte the

ye vaqt kaifiyaat se bhartaa nahin kabhi
ye jaam ikhtiyaar nahin kar rahaa huun main

zindagi sundar ghazal hai dosto
zindagi ko gungunaanaa chaahiye
