gham-e-ishq hi ne kaaTi gham-e-ishq ki musibat — Farooq Banspari

sitaaron se shab-e-gham kaa to daaman jagmagaa uThThaa
magar aansu bahaa kar hijr ke maaron ne kyaa paayaa

mire naakhudaa na ghabraa ye nazar hai apni apni
tire saamne hai tufaan mire saamne kinaaraa

yaqin mujhe bhi hai vo aaeinge zarur magar
vafaa karegi kahaan tak ki zindagi hi to hai

miri zindagi kaa mahvar yahi soz-o-saaz-e-hasti
kabhi jazb-e-vaalhaana kabhi zabt-e-aarifaana

nadim taarikh-e-fath-e-daanish bas itnaa likh kar tamaam kar de
ki shaatiraan-e-jahaan ne aakhir khud apni chaalon se maat khaai

allaah ke bandon ki hai duniyaa hi niraali
kaanTe koi botaa hai to ugte hain gulistaan

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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