nazar nazar meñ adā-e-jamāl rakhte the
ham ek shaḳhs kā kitnā ḳhayāl rakhte the
jabīñ pe aane na dete the ik shikan bhī kabhī
agarche dil meñ hazāroñ malāl rakhte the
ḳhushī usī kī hamesha nazar meñ rahtī thī
aur apnī quvvat-e-ġham bhī bahāl rakhte the
bas ishtiyāq-e-takallum meñ bār-hā ham log
javāb dil meñ zabāñ par savāl rakhte the
usī se karte the ham roz o shab kā andāza
zamīñ pe rah ke vo sūraj kī chaal rakhte the
junūñ kā jaam mohabbat kī mai ḳhirad kā ḳhumār
hamīñ the vo jo ye saare kamāl rakhte the
chhupā ke apnī sisaktī sulagtī sochoñ se
mohabbatoñ ke uruuj o zavāl rakhte the
kuchh un kā husn bhī thā māvarā misāloñ se
kuchh apnā ishq bhī ham be-misāl rakhte the
ḳhatā nahīñ jo khile phuul rāh-e-sarsar meñ
ye jurm hai ki vo fikr-e-ma.āl rakhte the
nazar nazar mein ada-e-jamal rakhte the
hum ek shaKHs ka kitna KHayal rakhte the
jabin pe aane na dete the ek shikan bhi kabhi
agarche dil mein hazaron malal rakhte the
KHushi usi ki hamesha nazar mein rahti thi
aur apni quwwat-e-gham bhi bahaal rakhte the
bas ishtiyaq-e-takallum mein bar-ha hum log
jawab dil mein zaban par sawal rakhte the
usi se karte the hum roz o shab ka andaza
zamin pe rah ke wo suraj ki chaal rakhte the
junun ka jam mohabbat ki mai KHirad ka KHumar
hamin the wo jo ye sare kamal rakhte the
chhupa ke apni sisakti sulagti sochon se
mohabbaton ke uruj o zawal rakhte the
kuchh un ka husn bhi tha mawara misalon se
kuchh apna ishq bhi hum be-misal rakhte the
KHata nahin jo khile phul rah-e-sarsar mein
ye jurm hai ki wo fikr-e-maal rakhte the
