jab us ne miraa khat na chhuaa haath se apne — Peer Sher Mohammad Ajiz

kisi ki zulf ke saude mein raat ki hai basar
kisi ke rukh ke tasavvur mein din tamaam kiyaa

na to main huur kaa maftun na pari kaa aashiq
khaak ke putle kaa hai khaak kaa putlaa aashiq

phaT jaate hain zakhm-e-dil-e-betaab ke angur
saaqi tire haathon se jo saaghar nahin miltaa

shab-e-vasl aaj vo taakid karte hain mohabbat se
abhi so rahne do kuchh raat guzre to jagaa lenaa

sunaa hai arsh-e-ilaahi isi ko kahte hain
tavaaf-e-kaaba-e-dil ham ne subh-o-shaam kiyaa

naakhun kaa rang sina-kharaashi se ye huaa
surkhi shafaq se aati hai jaise hilaal par

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

raat yuun dil mein tiri khoi hui yaad aai
jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaae

sirf alfaaz pe mauquf nahin lutf-e-sukhan
aankh khaamosh agar hai to zabaan kuchh bhi nahin

chaand chal diyaa chup-chaap so gae sitaare bhi
raat ki siyaahi mein dil kaa daagh jaltaa hai

dusri ne jo sambhaali chappal
pahli biivi ki vafaa yaad aai

sochaa thaa ki us bazm mein khaamosh raheinge
mauzu-e-sukhan ban ke rahi kam-sukhani bhi
