nigaah-e-shauq agar dil ki tarjumaan ho jaae — Haya Lakhnavi

aah ye barsaat kaa mausam ye zakhmon ki bahaar
ho gayaa hai khun-e-dil aankhon se jaari in dinon

chaman vahi hai ghaTaaein vahi bahaar vahi
magar gulon mein vo ab rang-o-bu nahin baaqi

rahein gham ki sharar-angeziyaan yaa-rab qayaamat tak
'hayaa' gham se na milti gar kabhi fursat to achchhaa thaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se
