miri nigaah ko gar teri diid ho jaae — Manzar Suhai

ishq pe ijtihaad kar kar ke
mujtahid ho gayaa huun main gham kaa

mohabbat ki bhi to ik bevafaa se
ye qatl-e-khud nahin to aur kyaa hai

hai isi baat kaa malaal mujhe
ki mujhe ab koi malaal nahin

hone do agar ho gae kuchh log bure bhi
gulshan mein agar phuul hain to khaar bhi honge

laDkaa na koi phir se ho barbaad dahr mein
tujh par na jaaein beTiyaan teri khudaa kare

raahon ke pattharon kaa bhalaa kyaa gila karun
ab aadmi ke dil bhi to patthar ke ho gae

roza-daaraan-e-judaai kuun kham-e-abru-e-yaar
maah-e-id-e-ramazaan thaa mujhe maalum na thaa

iid par masrur hain donon miyaan biivi bahut
ik kharidaari se pahle ik kharidaari ke baad

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

haalaat 'shahaab' aankh uThaane nahin dete
bachchon ko magar iid manaane ki paDi hai

bahut baiid na thaa masalon kaa hal honaa
anaa ke paanv se zanjir ham haTaa na sake

iid kaa din to hai magar 'jaafar'
main akele to hans nahin saktaa
