ho zabt-e-naala kyunki dil-e-naa-tavaan mein aah — Meer Hasan

dosti kis se na thi kis se mujhe pyaar na thaa
jab bure vaqt pe dekhaa to koi yaar na thaa

jo koi aave hai nazdik hi baiThe hai tire
ham kahaan tak tire pahlu se sarakte jaavein

aasaan na samajhiyo tum nakhvat se paak honaa
ik umr kho ke ham ne sikhaa hai khaak honaa

aashnaa bevafaa nahin hotaa
bevafaa aashnaa nahin hotaa

itne aansu to na the dida-e-tar ke aage
ab to paani hi bharaa rahtaa hai ghar ke aage

sadaa aish dauraan dikhaataa nahin
gayaa vaqt phir haath aataa nahin

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

kuchh aur vus'atein darkaar hain mohabbat ko
visaal-o-hijr pe daar-o-madaar mushkil hai

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai
