Main Kyun Bhul Jaun

teri chashm-e-mai gun ka labrez saghar

jawani teri kaif-awar jawani

gulistan dar aaghosh-e-husn-e-tabassum

wo tere lab-e-surKH ki gul-fishani

takallum ke andaz KHamoshiyon mein

zaban-e-nazar par haya ki kahani

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

wo sanson ki tezi wo sine ki dhaDkan

wo donon ka chhup-chhup ke aansu bahana

wo tajdid-e-ulfat ke sau-sau bahane

wo ek dusre se yun hi ruTh jaana

wo tark-e-mohabbat ke ilzam de kar

kisi ka kisi ko hansi mein rulana

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

wo pas-e-adab wo KHulus-e-mohabbat

wafur-e-tamanna mein KHamosh rahna

wo nazzargi mein tahayyur ka aalam

KHud apni nigahon se KHamosh rahna

raza-ju-tabiat wo talim-koshi

gham-o-ranj mein bhi wafa-kosh rahna

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

sawalon ka tumar mubham zaban mein

magar raaz-e-dil ka na izhaar karna

nigahen milane mein to ek jhijhak si

magar dil hi dil mein mujhe pyar karna

wo arz-e-mohabbat pe masum wade

wo luknat zaban ki wo iqrar karna

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

teri chashm-e-pur-nam wo masud saat

yaqin ban gaya jab guman-e-mohabbat

mohabbat ke din aur wo furqat ki raaten

duaen thin jab tarjuman-e-mohabbat

wo KHat jin ka har lafz ek dastan tha

wo jazbaat se pur-bayan-e-mohabbat

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

wo chhiTki hui chandni ki bahaaren

wo gul-posh raaten wo dilkash nazare

manazir simaTte hue aabju mein

falak par chamakte hue chand tare

wo thak kar kisi ka yun hi baiTh jaana

wo uThna kisi ka kisi ke sahaare

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

wo tufan-e-jazbaat-o-zor-e-tamanna

wo josh-e-mohabbat wo pur-shauq baaten

wo ghaDiyan wo aaram-o-rahat ki ghaDiyan

wo farhat ke din wo masarrat ki raaten

wo ghaten wo ghaton ke parde mein wade

wo wade wo wadon ke parde mein ghaten

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

maal-e-masarrat wo majbur aansu

wo kaif-e-tarb ka gham-anjam hona

pur-ilzam baaten wo sab ki zaban par

mohabbat ke qisse ka wo aam hona

wo bargashta-KHatir buzurgon ki baaten

wo masum ruhon ka badnam hona

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun

wo din tafraqa-KHez majburiyon ka

fareb-e-muqaddar ki wo chira-dasti

KHumar-e-mai aish aur na-muradi

wo marg-e-tamanna wo anjam-e-masti

rusum-e-kuhan ki sitam-afrini

zamane ka jaur-e-qadamat-parasti

tu hi mujh se kah de main kyun bhul jaun
