ai yaad-e-yaar dekh ki baa-vasf-e-ranj-e-hijr — Hasrat Mohani

gham-e-aarzu kaa 'hasrat' sabab aur kyaa bataaun
miri himmaton ki pasti mire shauq ki bulandi

raat din naama-o-paighaam kahaan tak doge
saaf kah dijiye milnaa hamein manzur nahin

'hasrat' bahut hai martaba-e-aashiqi buland
tujh ko to muft logon ne mashhur kar diyaa

taasir-e-barq-e-husn jo un ke sukhan mein thi
ik larzish-e-khafi mire saare badan mein thi

ham kyaa karein agar na tiri aarzu karein
duniyaa mein aur bhi koi tere sivaa hai kyaa

chhup nahin sakti chhupaane se mohabbat ki nazar
paD hi jaati hai rukh-e-yaar pe hasrat ki nazar

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

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

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

saadgi o purkaari be-khudi o hushyaari
husn ko taghaaful mein jurat-aazmaa paayaa

main ab har shakhs se uktaa chukaa huun
faqat kuchh dost hain aur dost bhi kyaa

tazkire mein tire ik naam ko yuun joD diyaa
doston ne mujhe shishe ki tarah toD diyaa
