na aayaa shaam bhi ghar phir ke apne — 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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

'aql aur 'ishq laDte rahe der tak
'aql maari gai 'ishq zinda rahaa

tujh ko haq hai tu dil dukhaa meraa
main tujhe pyaar bhi to kartaa huun

ye 'ishq jazba-e-ruhaaniyat hai maantaa huun
magar tu jism ki majburiyaan bhi samjhaa kar

kaun kahtaa hai bulandi pe nahin huun 'saaghar'
meri me'raaj-e-mohabbat miri rusvaai hai
