mansur ne na zulf ke kuche ki raah li — Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

ham bhi ai jaan-e-man itne to nahin naakaara
kabhi kuchh kaam tu ham ko bhi to farmaayaa kar

jitnaa ki ye duniyaa mein hamein khvaar rakhe hai
itne to gunahgaar zamaane ke nahin ham

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

apni to is chaman mein nit umr yunhi guzri
yaan aashiyaan banaayaa vaan aashiyaan banaayaa

pichhaa kisi tarah ye miraa chhoDtaa nahin
haathon se ishq ke koi jaave kahaan nikal

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

un ke lab par zikr aayaa be-hijaabaana meraa
manzil-e-takmil tak pahunchaa ab afsaana meraa
