dil-e-ushshaaq parindon ki tarah uDte hain — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

ai khizaan bhaag jaa chaman se shitaab
varna fauj-e-bahaar aave hai

kabhu bimaar sun kar vo ayaadat ko to aataa thaa
hamein apne bhale hone se vo aazaar behtar thaa

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

bul-havas go karein tere lab-e-shirin par hujum
talkh mat ho ki miThaai se magas aati hai

meraa maashuq hai mazon mein bharaa
kabhu miThaa kabhu salonaa hai

sau baar taar taar kiyaa to bhi ab talak
saabit vahi hai dast o garebaan ki dosti

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

be-zabaani zabaan na ho jaae
raaz-e-ulfat ayaan na ho jaae

ham se pahle bhi mohabbat kaa yahi anjaam thaa
qais bhi naashaad thaa farhaad bhi naakaam thaa

kyaa kahun tum se main ki kyaa hai ishq
jaan kaa rog hai balaa hai ishq

ye jo lahore se mohabbat hai
ye kisi aur se mohabbat hai
