har-chand gham-o-dard ki qimat bhi bahut thi


har-chand ġham-o-dard kī qīmat bhī bahut thī
lenā hī paḌā dil ko zarūrat bhī bahut thī

zālim thā vo aur zulm kī aadat bhī bahut thī
majbūr the ham us se mohabbat bhī bahut thī

go tark-e-ta.alluq meñ suhulat bhī bahut thī
lekin na huā ham se ki ġhairat bhī bahut thī

us but ke sitam sah ke dikhā hī diyā ham ne
go apnī tabī.at meñ baġhāvat bhī bahut thī

vāqif hī na thā ramz-e-mohabbat se vo varna
dil ke liye thoḌī sī ināyat hī bahut thī

yuuñ hī nahīñ mash.hūr-e-zamāna mirā qātil
us shaḳhs ko is fan meñ mahārat bhī bahut thī

kyā daur-e-ġhazal thā ki lahū dil meñ bahut thā
aur dil ko lahū karne ke fursat bhī bahut thī

har shaam sunāte the hasīnoñ ko ġhazal ham
jab maal bahut thā to saḳhāvat bhī bahut thī

bulvā ke ham 'ājiz' ko pashemāñ bhī bahut haiñ
kyā kījiye kam-baḳht kī shohrat bhī bahut thī

har-chand gham-o-dard ki qimat bhi bahut thi
lena hi paDa dil ko zarurat bhi bahut thi

zalim tha wo aur zulm ki aadat bhi bahut thi
majbur the hum us se mohabbat bhi bahut thi

go tark-e-talluq mein suhulat bhi bahut thi
lekin na hua hum se ki ghairat bhi bahut thi

us but ke sitam sah ke dikha hi diya hum ne
go apni tabiat mein baghawat bhi bahut thi

waqif hi na tha ramz-e-mohabbat se wo warna
dil ke liye thoDi si inayat hi bahut thi

yun hi nahin mashhur-e-zamana mera qatil
us shaKHs ko is fan mein mahaarat bhi bahut thi

kya daur-e-ghazal tha ki lahu dil mein bahut tha
aur dil ko lahu karne ke fursat bhi bahut thi

har sham sunate the hasinon ko ghazal hum
jab mal bahut tha to saKHawat bhi bahut thi

bulwa ke hum 'ajiz' ko pasheman bhi bahut hain
kya kijiye kam-baKHt ki shohrat bhi bahut thi
