kaun jaane ki ik tabassum se — Iqbal Safi Puri

mire labon kaa tabassum to sab ne dekh liyaa
jo dil pe biit rahi hai vo koi kyaa jaane

koi samjhaae ki kyaa rang hai maikhaane kaa
aankh saaqi ki uThe naam ho paimaane kaa

chashm-e-saaqi mujhe har gaam pe yaad aati hai
raastaa bhuul na jaaun kahin maikhaane kaa

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
