Hosh-O-KHirad Mein Aag Laga Di KHirman-E-Kaif-O-Kam Ko Jalaya

Ijtiba Rizvi

hosh-o-ḳhirad men aag laga di ḳhirman-e-kaif-o-kam ko jalaya

sho.ala bane aur siine se lipTe aap jale aur ham ko jalaya

jis ko kahen ghar-phunk tamasha bas vo tamasha aap ne dekha

aap ki bijli ḳhush hai ki us ne musht-e-ḳhas-e-adam ko jalaya

ghair ko jhiḌki ham pe inayat ho ga.i aḳhir jaan ko aafat

bazm-e-azal men tum ne bula kar kis liye na-mahram ko jalaya

zindagi apni yas-o-tamanna aag pe aag aur sho.ale pe sho.ala

dil ko hamare gham se jala kar sho.ala-e-ruḳh se gham ko jalaya

kaisi jalan thi kaisi jalan hai jal chuke phir bhi jal nahin chukte

kaash koi yuun tum ko jala de jaise ki tum ne ham ko jalaya

aag hai bijli aag hain zarre aag hai suraj aag hain taare

ham ne na ki thi shoḳh-nigahi aap ne kyon aalam ko jalaya
