Aashiq Hue to Ishq Mein Hoshyar Kyun Na The

Varis Kirmani

ashiq hue to ishq men hoshyar kyuun na the

ham in ke madah-ḳhvan sar-e-bazar kyuun na the

haan jab sitam ko ain karam kah rahe the log

ham bhi sharik-e-garmi-e-guftar kyuun na the

jab chal raha tha vaqt pe jaadu nigah ka

ik ham asir-e-chashm-e-fusun-kar kyuun na the

ab kya shahid-e-naz bane phir rahe hain log

marne ka shauq tha to sardar kyuun na the

‘varis’ ye sha.iri sam-e-qatil se kam nahin

aap is bala-e-jan se ḳhabar-dar kyuun na the
