Dora nahin hai surme ka chashm-e-siyah mein
Dorā nahīñ hai surme kā chashm-e-siyāh meñ
baanā paḌā hai yaar ke pā-e-nigāh meñ
har-dam jo maiñ khaTaktā huuñ un kī nigāh meñ
mānind-e-ḳhār uThte haiñ aġhyār raah meñ
ghar us ke dil meñ kar ke ga.ī muft apnī jaan
kashtī hamārī Duub ga.ī aa ke thaah meñ
har-dam vo silk-e-gauhar-e-vīrān huuñ ghūrtā
motī piro rahā huuñ maiñ tār-e-nigāh meñ
miltā nahīñ hai manzil-e-maqsad kā rāhbar
rahzan hī se ho kaash mulāqāt raah meñ
aane kā un ke koī muqarrar nahīñ hai din
aa nikle ek baar kahīñ saal o maah meñ
chhīnā galī meñ apne hasīnoñ ne naqd-e-dil
luuTā hai rahzanoñ ne musāfir ko raah meñ
kartī hai qatl bāñkī adā us kī ḳhalq ko
paTThā lagā hai teġh kā terī kulāh meñ
laḌte hī us se aañkh fanā the habāb-vār
bahr-e-qazā kā ghaaT hai teġh-e-nigāh meñ
dil aa gayā zaqan pe tirī yak-ba-yak mirā
girtā hai koī dīda-o-dānista chaah meñ
ḳhush-chashm tū vo hai ki ġhazālān-e-hind-o-chī
aage tire samāte nahīñ haiñ nigāh meñ
hai shor āmad-āmad qātil jo dair se
hañgāma jāñ-nisāroñ kā hai qatl-gāh meñ
kyā tum ko ḳhat-e-zīst hai itnā to pūchhtā
hotī agar ḳhizr se mulāqāt raah meñ
ai sarv-e-qad gayā huuñ pai-e-sair-e-bāġh jab
lipTā huuñ shajar se tire ishtibāh meñ
ḳhurshīd-o-māh kī bhī jhapaktī hai aksar aañkh
zarroñ kī vo chamak hai tirī gard-e-rāh meñ
aanā hai o shikār-e-fagan gar tujhe to aa
ummīd-vār said haiñ naḳhchīr-gāh meñ
sindūr us kī maañg meñ detā hai yuuñ bahār
jaise dhanak nikaltī hai abr-e-siyāh meñ
ġhaflat ye hai kisī ko nahīñ qabr kā ḳhayāl
koī hai fikr-e-nāñ meñ koī fikr-e-jāh meñ
kahte haiñ dekhte haiñ mubassir agar use
ye jins-e-be-bahā hai hamāre nigāh meñ
kyā duuñ maiñ us ke chehra-e-pur-nūr se misāl
dhabbā lagā huā hai baḌā rū-e-māh meñ
tirchhī nazar se us ne jo dekhā yaqīñ huā
bal paḌ gayā hai yaar kī teġh-e-nigāh meñ
aġhyār muñh chhupā.eñge ham se kahāñ talak
hogī kabhī to ham se mulāqāt raah meñ
fariyād ras ke pahūñchī na fariyād kaan tak
armān rah gayā ye dil-e-dād-ḳhvāh meñ
manzil hai apnī apnī 'qalaq' apnī apnī gor
koī nahīñ sharīk kisī ke gunāh meñ
Dora nahin hai surme ka chashm-e-siyah mein
bana paDa hai yar ke pa-e-nigah mein
har-dam jo main khaTakta hun un ki nigah mein
manind-e-KHar uThte hain aghyar rah mein
ghar us ke dil mein kar ke gai muft apni jaan
kashti hamari Dub gai aa ke thah mein
har-dam wo silk-e-gauhar-e-viran hun ghurta
moti piro raha hun main tar-e-nigah mein
milta nahin hai manzil-e-maqsad ka rahbar
rahzan hi se ho kash mulaqat rah mein
aane ka un ke koi muqarrar nahin hai din
aa nikle ek bar kahin sal o mah mein
chhina gali mein apne hasinon ne naqd-e-dil
luTa hai rahzanon ne musafir ko rah mein
karti hai qatl banki ada us ki KHalq ko
paTTha laga hai tegh ka teri kulah mein
laDte hi us se aankh fana the habab-war
bahr-e-qaza ka ghaT hai tegh-e-nigah mein
dil aa gaya zaqan pe teri yak-ba-yak mera
girta hai koi dida-o-danista chah mein
KHush-chashm tu wo hai ki ghazalan-e-hind-o-chi
aage tere samate nahin hain nigah mein
hai shor aamad-amad qatil jo dair se
hangama jaan-nisaron ka hai qatl-gah mein
kya tum ko KHat-e-zist hai itna to puchhta
hoti agar KHizr se mulaqat rah mein
ai sarw-e-qad gaya hun pai-e-sair-e-bagh jab
lipTa hun shajar se tere ishtibah mein
KHurshid-o-mah ki bhi jhapakti hai aksar aankh
zarron ki wo chamak hai teri gard-e-rah mein
aana hai o shikar-e-fagan gar tujhe to aa
ummid-war said hain naKHchir-gah mein
sindur us ki mang mein deta hai yun bahaar
jaise dhanak nikalti hai abr-e-siyah mein
ghaflat ye hai kisi ko nahin qabr ka KHayal
koi hai fikr-e-nan mein koi fikr-e-jah mein
kahte hain dekhte hain mubassir agar use
ye jins-e-be-baha hai hamare nigah mein
kya dun main us ke chehra-e-pur-nur se misal
dhabba laga hua hai baDa ru-e-mah mein
tirchhi nazar se us ne jo dekha yaqin hua
bal paD gaya hai yar ki tegh-e-nigah mein
aghyar munh chhupaenge hum se kahan talak
hogi kabhi to hum se mulaqat rah mein
fariyaad ras ke pahunchi na fariyaad kan tak
arman rah gaya ye dil-e-dad-KHwah mein
manzil hai apni apni 'qalaq' apni apni gor
koi nahin sharik kisi ke gunah mein
- Mazhar-e-Ishq
