khinch lenaa vo miraa parde kaa konaa dafatan — 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

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

bujh jaaegaa ik roz tiri yaad kaa shola
lekin mire siine mein dhuaan yuun hi rahegaa

yaad na aane kaa vaada kar ke
vo to pahle se sivaa yaad aayaa

ab main kyaa tum se apnaa haal kahun
ba-khudaa yaad bhi nahin mujh ko

raat ko jab yaad aae teri khushbu-e-qabaa
tere qisse chheDte hain raat ki raani se ham

ab zamaane se aur kyaa maangun
daulat-e-gham bahut ziyaada hai
