Urdu Poets

Sitaron ko badalna chahate hain
Tare ham rah chalna chahte hain

Bohat barhaq sahe, paste hamare
Magar ab ham sanbhalna chahte hain

Sehar jase bhe ho, pher bhe sehar he
Shab-e-gum se nikalna chahte hain

Chaton se barf rokhsat ho rahe he
Ye mosam ab badalna chahte hain

Mehakte shokh jazbon ke tarha ham
Tare dill men machalna chahte hain

Nahe rokte same ke teez andhe
Deye to kab se jalna chahte hain

Kya Baat Hai Jis Ka Gham Bohat Hai ?
Kuch Din Se Yeh Aankh Nam Bohat Hai

Mil Leta Hai Guftugu Ki Had Tak
Itna Hee Tera Karam Bohat Hai

Ghar Aap Hi Jagmaga Uthe Ga
Dehleez Pe Ik Qadam Bohat Hai

Mil Jaye Agar Teri Rafaqat
Mujh Ko Tou Yehi Janam Bohat Hai

Kya Shab Se Humein Sawaal Karna ?
Hona Tera Subha Dam Bohat Hai

Kyon Bujhne Lage Chiraagh Mere ?
Ab Ke To Hawa Bhi Kam Bohat Hai

Chup Kyon Tujhe Lag Gayi Hai Parveen ?
Sunte They Ke Tujh Mein Ram Bohat Hai

Jab kabhi un ki tawajjoh mei kammi paayi gayi,
Az-sar-e-nau daastaan-e-shauq dohraayi gayi,

Bik gaye jab tere lab phir tujh ko kya shikwa agar,
Zindgaani baada o saaghar se behlaayi gayi,

Ae gham-e-duniyaa tujhe kya ilm tere vaaste,
Kin bahaanon se tabiyat raah main laayi gayi,

Hum karen tark-e-wafaa acha chalo yuun hi sahi,
Aur agar tark-e-wafaa se bhi na ruswaayi gayi,

Kaise kaise chasm o aariz gard-e-gham se bujh gaye,
Kaise kaise paikaron ki shaan-e-zebaayi gayi,

Dil ki dharrkan me tavaazun aa chala hai khair ho,
Meri nazren bujh gayi.n yaa teri ranaayi gayi,

Un ka gham un ka tasavvur un ke shikwe ab kahan,
Ab to yeh baaten bhi ae dil ho gayin aayi gayi,

Jurat-e-insaan pe go taadeeb ke pehre rahe,
Fitrat-e-insaan ko kab zanjeer pehnaayi gayi,

Arsaa-e-hastii mei ab tesha-zanon kaa daur hai,
Rasm-e-changezi uthii tauqeer-e-daaraayi gayi..

Har Zarra-e-Umeed Se Khushbuu Nikal Aaye
Tanhaayi Ke Sehra Mein Agar TU Nikal Aaye

Kaisa Lagay Is Baar Agar Mausam-e-Gul Mein
Titli Ka Badan Oorh Kar Jugnuu Nikal Aaye

Phir Din Teri Yaadon Ki Mundairon Pe Guzra
Phir Shaam Howi Aankh Se Aansoo Nikal Aaye

Be-Chain Kye Rehta Hai Dharka Yehi Ji Ko
Tujh Mein Na Zamanay Ki Koi Khu Nikal Aaye

Phir Dil Ne Kya Tark-e-Talluq Ka Iraada
Phir Tujh Se Mulaqaat Ke Pehluu Nikal Aaye

Tere Sang bitaya hua har lamha yaad ata hai mujhko,
Chale aao ke yeh hijr ki raatain bohat rulaati hain mujhko,

Tere aashiyane ko jaana, hum bhala kese aajaye,
Tere sheher ke log bohat satate hain mujhko,

Tu chahe kitna hi chupaa le, Mein phir bhi janta hoon,
Teri soch har mehwar yaad karta hai mujhko,

Khud mein jhaankta hoon tou yeh khayal ata hai,
Bin tere jeena bhi muhaal lagta hai mujhko,

Mein andheron ki nagri ka kamzor sa musafir,
Ab ujaalon ki musaaftain kahan raas ati hain mujhko,

Tere deed ki pyaas hi ab taskeen deti hai,
Teri miti huyi arzuyain hi chain deti hain mujhko,

Ae Husnain tamasha dekhne wale koi kam tou na they,
Ruswayiyon ke soghaat diye tere apnon ne mujhko..

Uska rishta na hone ka bayas uska abba tha,
Sab khairaan the usne aisa abba kahan se labba tha,

Samajh nahi aati bati dhaarein wo kiss se bahkhshaye,
Uski maa to feeder thi, aur suke doodh ka dibba tha,

Us jagah par kafi loki manatein mangne pohanche,
Pichle ware jaha par humne, moya kukad dabba tha.

Loogon Ke Lye Saahib-e-Kirdaar Bhi Mein Tha
Khud Apni Nigaahon Mein Gunaahgaar Bhi Mein Tha

Kiun Ab Mere Mansab Ki Salaami Ko Kharay Ho ?
Yaaro Kubhi Ruswa Sar-e-Baazaar Bhi Mein Tha

Mein Khud Hee Chhupa Tha Qaf-e-Qaatil Ki Shikan Mein
Maqtool Ki Tooti Howi Talwaar Bhi Mein Tha

Chheentay Hain Jahan Ab Mere Maasoom Lahoo Ke
Os Farq-e-Falak-Naaz Ki Dastaar Bhi Mein Tha

Meri Hee Sadaa Lout Ke Aayi Hai Mujhi Tak
Shayad Had-e-Aflaak Ke Os Paar Bhi Mein Tha

Manzil Pe Jo Pohancha Hun Tou Maaloom Howa Hai !
Khud Apnay Lye Raah Ki Deewaar Bhi Mein Tha

Ab Mere Taaruf Se Guraiza Hai TU Laikin
Kal Tak Teri Pehchaan Ki Mayaar Bhi Mein Tha

Dekha Tou Mein Afshaa Tha Har Ik Zehen Pe Mohsin
Socha Tou Pas-e-Parda Israar Bhi Mein Tha

Husn-o-Jamaal Ke Bhi Zamaanay Nahi Rahay
Aankhon Mein Oski Khwaab Suhaanay Nahi Rahay

Milnay Ko Aa Hee Jata Hai Har Chund Roz Baad
Lagta Hai Oske Paas Bahaanay Nahi Rahay

Larzish Hai Haath Mein Tou Mein Tou Nazar Bhi Hai Dhundli
Pehlay Se Ab Wo Dil Ke Nishaanay Nahi Rahay

Uthti Nahi Hain Shoq-o-Tajassus Ke Ba-Wajood
Aankhon Ke Kitnay Kaam Puraanay Nahi Rahay

Kamray Se Bhar Gaye Hain Masaail Ki Gard Se
Dil Mein Tere Khayaal Ke Khaanay Nahi Rahay

Mohabbat Ki Aseeri Se Rihaayi Maangtay Rehna
Bohat Aasaan Nahi Hota Judaai Maangtay Rehna

Zara Sa Ishq Karlaina, Zara Si Aankh Bhar Laina
Iwaz Iske Magar Saari Khudaai Maangtay Rehna

Kubhi Mehroom Honton Per Dua Ka Harf Rakh Dena
Kubhi Wehshat Mein Oski Naarsaayi Maangtay Rehna

Wafaaon Ke Tasalsul Se Mohabbat Rooth Jaati Hai
Dil Ki Sakoot-e-Shaam-e-Gham Se Humnawaayi Maangtay Rehna

Kubhi Bachay Ke Nannay Haath Per Titli Ke Par Rakhna
Kubhi Phir Oske Rangon Se Rihaayi Maangtay Rehna

Udaasion Ka Samaa Mehfilon Mein Chhor Gayi
Bahaar Ik Khaash Si Dilon Mein Chhor Gayi

Bichar Ke Tujh Se Hazaaron Taraf Gaya Khayaal
Teri Nazar Mujhe Kin Manzilon Mein Chhor Gayi

Kahan Se Laa’ye Ab Os Nigaah Ko Nasir ?
Jo Na-Tamaam Umangain Dilon Mein Chhor Gayi
