Rafique Khayal

Narm lehje main tahammul se zara baat karo,
Phir ba-sad-e-shauq sar-e-aam mujhe maat karo,

Ya nisaar aaj karo mujh pe tamaam apne hunar,
Ya nazar-band mere saare kamalaat karo,

Main riwayat se baaghi to nahin hoon lekin,
Tum se mumkin ho to tabdeel-e-khayalaat karo,

Ek muddat se mere dil ka nagar hai veeraan,
Aao is dasht pe tum phoolon ki barsaat karo,

Fasl ujaalon ki siyah-e-bakht zameen uglegi,
Zar-nigar apne zara kashf-o-karamaat karo,

Is tarah mil ke bicharrna to qayamat ho ga,
Mushtayil tum na meri jaan mere jazbaat karo,

Be-niyaazi to mila karti hai duniya se khayal,
Tum kisi taur na tajdeed-e-gham-e-zaat karo..
