kuude hain us ke sehn mein do-chaar sher-dil — 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

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
