kabhi ki thi jo ab vafaa kijiyegaa — 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

koi barsaa na sar-e-kisht-e-vafaa
kitne baadal guhar-afshaan guzre

dil mein tufaan nahin aankh mein sailaab nahin
aise jiine se to behtar thaa ki mar hi jaate

ba-zaahir garm hai baazaar-e-ulfat
magar jins-e-vafaa kam ho gai hai

talaatum aarzu mein hai na tufaan justuju mein hai
javaani kaa guzar jaanaa hai dariyaa kaa utar jaanaa

chashm-poshi karein mukhlis hain vafaa mein vo agar
kyon mire achchhe-bure par vo nazar rakhte hain

vahin pe TuTne lagtaa hai aitabaar-e-vafaa
jahaan yaqin zyaada dilaae jaate hain
