tujh se kis tarHa maiN izhaar-e-tamanna karta

mujhe ye misra hamesha se pasand tha, aur inspiration, janaab-e-Irfan Abid se milee, is liye apni taba aazmaai aap sab ke Huzoor pesh kar rahaa hooN

tujh se kis tarHa maiN izhaar-e-tamanna karta

jab puraana koi dukh mujh ko sataaya kartaa
maiN nayee fikr ko she'roN mein sanvaara kartaa

ik saHar hi se tha roshan miraa khursheed-e-Hayaat
aur kis se maiN ujaaloN ki tamanna karta

jis ki Haalat thi moHabbat meiN faqeeroN jaisi
us se kis tarHa maiN ulfat ka taqaaza karta

andaleeboN se rafaaqat ka tha charchaa her su
baaghbaaN kab mujhe gulshan meiN gavaara karta

door rehne ka saleeqa hi nahiN tha mujh meiN
maiN khudaa jaane tire hijr meiN kia kia karta? :-k

kaash hoti ye ijaazat ke tujhe yaad karooN
maiN tiree yaad se khalvat ka mudaava karta

tae mire saamne zaanu-e-talammuz karti
tujh ko aadaab moHabbat ke sikhaaya karta

us ko she'roN se koii khaas shaghaf tha hi nahiN
aur maiN taaza ghazal roz sunaaya kartaa

jaanta hooN baRee himmat hai mire dushman meiN
Doobne ki bhi voh koshish lab-e-daryaa kartaa

zeib detaa hi nahiN mujh ko mukammal hona *
maiN agar ishq bhi karta to adhoora kartaa

khauf rehta tha hamesha tujhe rusvaaii ka
"tujh se kis tarHa maiN izhaar-e-tamanna karta"

hai ghalat !! tark-e-ta'alluq ki khabar sun ke .......
bharee meHfil meiN moHabbat ka tamaasha karta

shukria
