kis tarah kar diyaa dil-e-naazuk ko chur-chur — Parveen Umm

havaa mein jab uDaa parda to ik bijli si kaundi thi
khudaa jaane tumhaaraa partav-e-rukhsaar thaa kyaa thaa

kuchh to kami ho roz-e-jazaa ke azaab mein
ab se piyaa kareinge milaa kar gulaab mein

baal rukhsaaron se jab us ne haTaae to khulaa
do farangi sair ko nikle hain mulk-e-shaam se

agar lohe ke gumbad mein rakheinge aqrabaa un ko
vahin pahunchaaegaa aashiq kisi tadbir se kaaghaz

na aayaa kar ke vaada vasl kaa iqraar thaa kyaa thaa
kisi ke bas mein thaa majbur thaa laachaar thaa kyaa thaa

pi baada-e-ahmar to ye kahne lagaa gul-ru
main surkh huun tum surkh zamin surkh zamaan surkh

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

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

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

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin
