aisi khvaahish ko samajhtaa huun main bilkul natural — Aziz Faisal

ishq mein ye tafraqa-baazi bahut maayub hai
pyaar ko shiia vahaabi aur sunni mat samajh

das baara ghazliyaat jo rakhtaa hai jeb mein
bazm-e-sukhan mein hai vo nishaani vabaal ki

na ye qaanun kaam aayaa thaa raanjhe ke zaraa saa bhi
usi ko bhains milti hai ho jis ke haath mein laaThi

begam se kah rahaa thaa ye koi khalaa-navard
baiThi hui hai chaand pe ''guDiyaa'' mire liye

kitni mazaahiya hai ye botal ke jin ki baat
aaqaa ab inqalaab hai do chaar din ki baat

moarrikh likh na dein suqraat mujh ko
main lassi kaa piyaala pi rahaa huun

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

us shaan-e-aajizi ke fidaa jis ne 'aarzu'
har naaz har ghurur ke qaabil banaa diyaa

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

hai kahaan tamannaa kaa dusraa qadam yaa-rab
ham ne dasht-e-imkaan ko ek naqsh-e-paa paayaa

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein
