gham-e-aarzu kaa 'hasrat' sabab aur kyaa bataaun — Hasrat Mohani

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

barsaat ke aate hi tauba na rahi baaqi
baadal jo nazar aae badli meri niyat bhi

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

hamaari maazarat ai gham ki muskuraa rahe hain
ham apnaa haath tiri pusht se haTaa rahe hain

itni na intishaar ki hiddat ho ru-ba-ru
insaan gham-e-hayaat mein jaltaa dikhaai de

jhuTi mahfil hai jhuTi tanhaai
ik tire 'ishq kaa bharam sachchaa
