Ba-sad Aarzu Jo Wo Aaya To Ye Hijab-e-ishq Se Haal Tha

ba-sad aarzu jo wo aaya to ye hijab-e-ishq se haal tha

ki hazaron dil mein thin hasraten aur uThana aankh muhaal tha

raha shab jo hum se juda koi to kahe ye waqia kya koi

shab-e-hijr thi ki bala koi jise dekhte hi visal tha

ruKH-e-yar ta na paDa nazar rahe hum alam se ye nauhagar

ki hamare ranj-o-malal par to malal ko bhi malal tha

kare kaun us se barabari mah-o-zohra sab ko thi ham-sari

dam-e-subh dekh sitamgari ruKH-e-mahr zarra-misal tha

shab-e-wasl dekh ke KHwab mein main paDa tha saKHt azab mein

the hazar soch jawab mein ajab us ka mujh se sawal tha

mere josh-e-ashk se bahra-war hue kul jahan ke bahr-o-bar

na barasti aaj ye chashm-e-tar to KHuda-na-KHwasta kal tha

jo numud karte hi aap se lage baiThne wo shitab se

to ye puchhe koi hubab se ki phulae apne ye gal tha

hawa main bhi daKHil-e-kushtgan to abas tu howe hai sar-garan

ki mere gale ki taraf miyan tere aab-e-tegh ka Dhaal tha

diya kha ke aap ne pan jo dil-e-mubtala hua surKH-ru

use samjha peT ka bojh wo jo tumhaare munh ka ugal tha

jo mariz tha paDa jaan-ba-lab KHabar aur kuchh nahin us ki ab

magar itna kahte hain log sab ki baDa ye nek-KHisal tha

jo chaman se dur qafas hua to main aur asir-e-hawas hua

ye jo zulm ab ke baras hua yahi qahr agle bhi sal tha

nahin chahta hai ab aasman ki hum aur wo hun ba-yak-makan

kahin aa gaya jo wo shab ko yan ki bulana jis ka muhaal tha

to ye rang chambar-e-charKH ka nazar aae tha mujhe barmala

kabhi tha siyah kabhi zard tha kabhi sabz tha kabhi lal tha

na kisi ne qadr ki 'jurat' ab kahe sher garche ajab ajab

jo na honge hum to kahenge sab ki baDa ye ahl-e-kamal tha
