aankhein na churaao dil mein rah kar — Muztar Khairabadi

zulf ko kyuun jakaD ke baandhaa hai
us ne bosa liyaa thaa gaal kaa kyaa

mire dil ne jhaTke uThaae hain kitne ye tum apni zulfon ke baalon se puchho
kaleje ki choTon ko main kyaa bataaun ye chhaati pe lahraane vaalon se puchho

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho

un kaa ik patlaa saa khanjar un kaa ik naazuk saa haath
vo to ye kahiye miri gardan khushi mein kaT gai

uThe uTh kar chale chal kar thame tham kar kahaa hogaa
main kyuun jaaun bahut hain un ki haalat dekhne vaale

mohabbat mein kisi ne sar paTakne kaa sabab puchhaa
to kah dungaa ki apni mushkilein aasaan kartaa huun

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
