Ishq Ka Ghaw Jaan Mein Rakh Kar Bhul Gai

ishq ka ghaav jaan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

ḳhud ko atish-dan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

nargis ke do phuul uTha kar phenk diye

aur ankhen gul-dan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

kuchh aansu to ankhon men chhup jaate hain

kuchh aansu muskan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

ghonsla tha aur shoḳh hava ki Thokar thi

tinke men tufan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

jis ki ḳhatir sha.iri karti rahti thi

ab us ko divan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

kamre men kuchh saa.e nachte rahte hain

suraj raushan-dan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

kya khoya kya paaya kuchh mat puchh sakhi

jivan ik hizyan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

sanson ki mazduri men jo ishq mila

ik shahi farman men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

jalti dhuup men chand ka tohfa kya karti

shayad main dalan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

suraj chand bhi ja kar lauT hi aate hain

umr isi imkan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

phuul se rishte patti patti bikhre the

patjhaḌ-rut saman men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

is lahje ki os men jo anchal bhiga

ik TuuTe paiman men rakh kar bhuul ga.i

aaj ‘sahar’ in do hansti hui ankhon ko

yadon ke juzdan men rakh kar bhuul ga.i
