aaftaab subh

shorish meekhaana insan se baalaatar hai toh

zeenat bazm falak ho jis se wo saaghar hai toh

ho dar gosh uroos subh wo gauhar hai toh

jis pe seemaaye ufuque naazan ho wo zewar hai toh

safha ayyaam se daagh madaad shab mita

aasman se naqsh baatil ki tarah kokab mita

husn tera jab hua baam falak se jalwa gar

aankh se udta hai yak dam khawaab ki mai ka asar

noor se maamoor ho jaata hai daamaan nazar

kholti hai chashm zaahir ko ziya teri magar

dhonadti hain jis ko aankhein wo tamaasha chahiye

chashm baatin jis se khul jaae wo jalwa chahiye

shauque aazaadi ke duniyaa mein na nikle hausle

zindagi bhar quaid zanjeer taalluque mein rahe

zer w baala ek hain teri nigaahon ke liye

aarzoo hai kuchh asi chashm tamaasha ki mujhe

aankh meri aur ke gham mein sarishk aabaad ho

imtiyaaz millat w aaein se dil aazaad ho

basta rang khasoseet na ho meri zaban

no insan quaum ho meri watan mera jahan

deeda baatin pe raaz nazm qudrat ho ayan

ho shanaasaaye falak shama takheel ka dhuan

uqda azdaad ki kaawish na tadpaaye mujhe

husn ishq angez har shay mein nazar aae mujhe

sadma aa jaae hua se gul ki pati ko agar

ashk ban kar meri aankhon se tapak jaae asar

dil mein ho soz mohabbat ka wo chhoota sa sharar

noor se jis ke mile raaz haqueeqat ki khabar

shaahid qudrat ka aaeena ho dil mera na ho

sar mein juz hamdardi insan koi sauda na ho

toh agar zahmat kash hangaama aalam nahi

ye fazeelat ka nishan ai neer azam nahi

apne husn aalam aara se jo toh mahram nahi

hamsar yak zarra khaak dar aadam nahi

noor masjod mulk garm tamaasha hi raha

aur toh minnat pazeer subh farda hi raha

aarzoo noor haqueeqat ki hamare dil mein hai

laila zauque talab ka ghar asi mahmil mein hai

kis quadar lazzat kashod uqda mushkil mein hai

lutf sad haasil hamaari sai be haasil mein hai

dard astafhaam se waaquif tira pahloo nahi

jasatjoye raaz qudrat ka shanaasa toh nahi
