Haqiqat Mahram-E-Asrar Se Puchh

Altaf Hussain Hali

haqiqat mahram-e-asrar se puchh

maza angur ka mai-ḳhvar se puchh

vafa aghyar ki aghyar se sun

miri ulfat dar o divar se puchh

hamari ah-e-be-tasir ka haal

kuchh apne dil se kuchh aghyar se puchh

dilon men Dalna zauq-e-asiri

kamand-e-gesu-e-ḳhamdar se puchh

dil-e-mahjur se sun lazzat-e-vasl

nashat-e-afiyat bimar se puchh

nahin juz girya-e-gham hasil-e-ishq

hamari chashm-e-dariya-bar se puchh

nahin ab-e-baqa juz jalva-e-dost

kisi lab-tishna-e-didar se puchh

fareb-e-vada-e-dildar ki qadr

shahid-e-ḳhanjar-e-inkar se puchh

fughan-e-shauq ko maane nahin vasl

ye nukta andalib-e-zar se puchh

tasavvur men kiya karte hain jo ham

vo tasvir-e-ḳhayal-e-yar se puchh

mata-e-be-baha hai sher-e-‘hali’

miri qimat miri guftar se puchh
