Hijr-O-Visal-E-Yar Ka Parda Utha diya

Firaq Gorakhpuri

hijr-o-visal-e-yar ka parda utha diya

khud badh ke ishq ne mujhe mera pata diya

gard-o-ghubar-e-hasti-e-fani uda diya

ai kimiya-e-ishq mujhe kya bana diya

vo samne hai aur nazar se chhupa diya

ai ishq-e-be-hijab mujhe kya dikha diya

vo shan-e-khamushi ki baharen hain muntazir

vo rang-e-guftugu ki gulistan bana diya

dam le rahi thiin husn ki jab sehr-kariyan

in vaqfa-ha-e-kufr ko iman bana diya

maalum kuchh mujhi ko hain un ki ravaniyan

jin qatra-ha-e-ashk ko dariya bana daya

ik barq-e-be-qarar thi tamkin-e-husn bhi

jis vaqt ishq ko gham-e-sabr-azma diya

saaqi mujhe bhi yaad hain vo tishna-kamiyan

jin ko harif-e-saghar-o-mina bana diya

maalum hai haqiqat-e-gham-ha-e-rozgar

duniya ko tere dard ne duniya bana diya

ai shokhi-e-nigah-e-karam muddaton ke baad

khvab-e-giran-e-gham se mujhe kyuun jaga diya

kuchh shorishen taghaful-e-pinhan men thiin jinhen

hangama-zar-e-hashr-e-tamanna bana diya

badhta hi ja raha hai jamal-e-nazar-fareb

husn-e-nazar ko husn-e-khud-ara bana diya

phir dekhna nigah ladi kis se ishq ki

gar husn ne hijab-e-taghaful utha diya

jab khuun ho chuka dil-e-hasti-e-etibar

kuchh dard bach rahe jinhen insan bana diya

gum-karda-e-vafur-e-gham-e-intizar huun

tu kya chhupa ki mujh ko mujhi se chhupa diya

raat ab harif-e-subh-e-qayamat hi kyuun na ho

jo kuchh bhi ho us aankh ko ab to jaga diya

ab main huun aur lutf-o-karam ke takallufat

ye kyuun hijab-e-ranjish-e-be-ja bana diya

thi yuun to sham-e-hijr magar pichhli raat ko

vo dard utha ‘firaq’ ki main muskura diya
