rishta-e-ulfat rag-e-jaan mein buton kaa paD gayaa — Bahram Ji

hai musalmaan ko hamesha aab-e-zamzam ki talaash
aur har ik barhaman gang-o-jaman mein mast hai

nahin duniyaa mein aazaadi kisi ko
hai din mein shams aur shab ko qamar band

pataa miltaa nahin us be-nishaan kaa
liye phirtaa hai qaasid jaa-ba-jaa khat

zaahidaa kaabe ko jaataa hai to kar yaad-e-khudaa
phir jahaazon mein khayaal-e-naa-khudaa kartaa hai kyuun

zaahiri vaaz se hai kyaa haasil
apne baatin ko saaf kar vaaiz

DhunDh kar dil mein nikaalaa tujh ko yaar
tu ne ab mehnat miri be-kaar ki

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

urdu mein baat kijiye urdu mein boliye
haq hai zabaan kaa pyaar kaa ras is mein gholiye

niind ke ghar mein hain khvaab aane lage
'ishq hai naachtaa aankh ke sahn mein

ishq ki choT kaa kuchh dil pe asar ho to sahi
dard kam ho yaa ziyaada ho magar ho to sahi
