main ne mana ki mulaqat nahin ho sakti
to kya ab tum se koi baat nahin ho sakti
dil mein raushan hain meri jaan teri yaadon ke charagh
shahr-e-ulfat mein kabhi raat nahin ho sakti
baatin-e-qalb-o-jigar mein hi basa le mujh ko
zahiran gar tu mere sath nahin ho sakti
is ka shewa hai mohabbat mein baghawat karna
mo'atabar us ki kabhi zat nahin ho sakti
ishq ka khel bhi ye soch ke main haar gaya
sachche aashiq ki kabhi mat nahin ho sakti
Ghazal
Maine mana ki mulaqat nahin ho sakti
Syed Mohammad Askari Arif
