mahrumiyon ka ek sabab josh-e-talab KHud bhi to hai
shoale pe lapka is tarah jaise koi gul hi to hai
kis wahm kis chakkar mein ho KHud-bin bagulon dam to lo
sine mein dil ho bhi kahin mana ki betabi to hai
sujhe magar kya shama ko apne ujale ke siwa
har chand zauq-e-did ka maidan tariki to hai
jhanka hai main ne saz mein parda haTa kar saz ka
naghma nazar aa jaega ye aas beja bhi to hai
har bagh mein uDta phirun har shaKH par girta rahun
har gul se KHushbu chus lun ab ye meri zid hi to hai
hai hai wo shirin jhalkiyan kab tak magar sar phoDiye
diwar phir diwar hai haalanki shishe ki to hai
phir bhi ye dhun hai mauj se dariya ko apne nap lun
paimana mera hai ghalat mujh ko KHabar itni to hai
pita raha kya umr bhar pi kar tamanna ka lahu
kuchh din se meri aastin kuchh zer-e-lab kahti to hai
hoti kahan tak mustarad be-baki-e-dast-e-saba
khulne laga band-e-haya aaKHir shagufa hi to hai
tamir aaKHir kar liya hasrat ne KHwabon ka haram
shaghl-e-gunah ke waste ye aaD bhi kafi to hai
mashq-e-KHud-ashami karun sairab hona sikh lun
labrez KHud hai tishnagi saghar mera KHali to hai
ab sulh kar bhi len 'muhib' tanhaiyon se wahshaten
wo mera saya hi sahi ek shai nazar aai to hai
Ghazal
Mahrumiyon ka ek sabab josh-e-talab KHud bhi to hai
