mohabbat

uroos shab ki zulfein thin abhi naa aashna kham se

sitaare aasman ke be khabar the lazzat ram se

quamar apne libaas nau mein begaana sa lagta tha

na tha waaquif abhi gardish ke aaeen muslim se

abhi imkan ke zulmat khaane se ubhri hi thi duniyaa

mazaaque zindagi posheeda tha pahnaaye aalam se

kamaal nazm hasti ki abhi thi ibtida goya

hweeda thi nageene ki tamannaa chashm khaatim se

suna hai aalam baala mein koi keemeeaagar tha

safa thi jis ki khaak pa mein badh kar saaghar jam se

likha tha arsh ke paae pe ik ikseer ka nuskha

chhupaate the farishte jis ko chashm rooh aadam se

nigaahein taak mein rahti thin lekin keemeeaagar ki

wo us naskhe ko badh kar jaanta tha asam azam se

badha tasbeeh khwaani ke bahaane arsh ki jaanib

tamannaa dili aakhir bar aai sai paiham se

pharaaeea fikr ajza ne use maidaan imkan mein

chhupe gi kya koi shay baargaah haque ke mahram se

chamak taare se maangi chaand se daagh jigar maanga

udaai teergi thodi si shab ki zulf barham se

tadap bijli se paai hoor se paakeezgi paai

haraarat li nafashaaye maseeh aban mareem se

zara si phir rabobeet se shaan be niyaazi li

mulk se aajizi uftaadgi taqudeer shabnam se

phir un ajza ko ghola chashmah haiwan ke paani mein

markab ne mohabbat naam paaya arsh azam se

mahos ne ye paani hasti nokheez par chhadka

girah kholi hunar ne us ke goya kaar aalam se

hui jumbish ayan zarron ne lutf khawaab ko chhoda

gale milne lage uth uth ke apne apne hamdam se

khiraam naaz paaya aaftaabon ne sitaaron ne

chatak ghanchon ne paai daagh paae laala zaaron ne
