husn hi to nahin betaab-e-numaaish 'unvaan' — Unwan Chishti

is kaar-e-numaayaan ke shaahid hain chaman vaale
gulshan mein bahaaron ko laae the hamin pahle

main kis tarah tujhe ilzaam-e-bevafaai duun
rah-e-vafaa mein tire naqsh-e-paa bhi milte hain

pareshaan ho ke dil tark-e-taalluq par hai aamaada
mohabbat mein ye surat bhi na raas aai to kyaa hogaa

vo haadse bhi dahr mein ham par guzar gae
jiine ki aarzu mein kai baar mar gae

aap se chuuk ho gai shaayad
aap aur mujh pe mehrbaan kyaa khuub

ishq phir ishq hai aashufta-sari maange hai
hosh ke daur mein bhi jaama-dari maange hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sard-mehri se tiri garmi-e-ulfat na rahi
dil mein uThtaa thaa jo har-dam vo sharaara bhi gayaa

mujhe ronaa nahin aavaaz bhi bhaari nahin karni
mohabbat ki kahaani mein adaakaari nahin karni

nuqsaan ho rahaa hai bahut kaarobaar mein
abbaa paDe hain jab se paDosan ke pyaar mein

jaane kab kaise giraftaar-e-mohabbat hue ham
jaane kab Dhal gae iqraar mein inkaar ke rang
