Ai Jazb-E-Mohabbat Tu Hi Bata Kyunkar Na Asar Le Dil Hi to Hai

Arzoo Lakhnavi

ai jazb-e-mohabbat tu hi bata kyunkar na asar le dil hi to hai

sidhi bhi chhuri TeḌhi bhi chhuri dil-doz nazar qatil hi to hai

jab huuk uThegi taḌpega insaf na chhoḌo dil hi to hai

na-chand thakan ka sabr-o-sukun bismil aḳhir bismil hi to hai

tufan-e-bala ki maujon men kiin band ankhen aur phand paḌe

kashti ne jahan Takkar khaa.i dil bol uTha sahil hi to hai

hai zarf yahan kis ka kitna dil bas hai usi ka paimana

rona bhi bura hansna bhi bura jo baat hai vo mushkil hi to hai

na-ḳhush hai to kya hai ḳhush hai to kya jaisa bhi sahi hai tu apna

ye saath nahin chhuTne vaala be-kas ka sahara dil hi to hai

hain maut ke is jiine men maze gham jis ko na ho vo kya samjhe

jab sabit karte ban na paḌe jo da.ava hai batil hi to hai

thi ḳhizr-e-tariq uftad yahan aur sang-e-havadis sang-e-nishan

had rah-e-talab ki aa ga.i haan jaata hai kahan manzil hi to hai

dukh de ke ulTe dena kya fariyad natija hai gham ka

jab Thes lagi shisha Thanka patthar na samajhiye dil hi to hai

aap ‘arzu’ ab ḳhamosh rahen kuchh achchhi buri khul kar na kahen

hain jitne munh itni baten mahfil aḳhir mahfil hi to hai
