buraa ho ishq kaa sab kuchh samajh rahaa huun main — Manzar Lakhnavi

muddaton baa'd kabhi ai nazar aane vaale
iid kaa chaand na dekhaa tiri surat dekhi

hain sau tariqe aur bhi ai be-qaraar dil
izhaar-e-shikva shikve ke andaaz mein na ho

in se jab puchhaa gayaa bismil tumhaare kyaa karein
hans ke bole zakhm-e-dil dekhaa karein royaa karein

kam-sini kyaa kam thi is par qahr hai shakki mizaaj
apnaa naavak mere dil se khinch kar dekhaa kiye

kisi aankh mein niind aae to jaanun
miraa qissa-e-gham kahaani nahin hai

ahl-e-mahshar dekh luun qaatil ko to pahchaan luun
bholi-bhaali shakl thi aur kuchh bhalaa saa naam thaa

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

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

tiri abru hai mehraab-e-mohabbat
namaaz-e-ishq mere par hui farz

uThaa sakte nahin jab chuum kar hi chhoDnaa achchhaa
mohabbat kaa ye patthar is dafa bhaari ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

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