sho'la-e-'ishq agar dil mein farozaan ho jaae — Mohammad Baqar Shams

khauf-e-mahshar na rahaa dil mein jo dekhaa main ne
pusht par mere gunaahon ke hai rahmat us ki

dekhaa jo din ko us ne su-e-charkh-e-be-madaar
sonaa utar gayaa varaq-e-aaftaab kaa

kuchh na puchho daraazi-e-shab-e-hijr
kaT gai 'umr aur sahar na hui

qaabu mein rakkhe ablaq-e-lail-o-nahaar ko
dekhaa na main ne aisaa kisi shahsavaar ko

muskuraahaT lab-e-naazuk pe nigaahein nichi
kis se sikhaa hai ye andaaz dil-aaraai kaa

dekhaa jo main ne naama-e-aa'maal hashr mein
qissa likhaa thaa mere aur un ke shabaab kaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

jo tire ishq mein tabaah huaa
koi us ko tabaah kar na sakaa

tere shaidaa bhi hue ishq-e-tamaashaa bhi hue
tere divaane tire shahr mein rusvaa bhi hue

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa
