umanD ke aankh se ik baar bah chale aansu — Khwaja Hasan 'Hasan'

rahi be-qaraari asiri ki yuun hi
to sayyaad TukDe tiraa daam hogaa

vo jab tak ki zulfein sanvaaraa kiyaa
khaDaa us pe main jaan vaaraa kiyaa

vaqt-e-nazzaara na ro kahte the ai chashm tujhe
shiddat-e-girya se le khaak na sujhaa, dekhaa

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

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

miri ruuh ki haqiqat mire aansuon se puchho
miraa majlisi tabassum miraa tarjumaan nahin hai
