Kaun Aaya Gesuon Ko Pareshan Kiye Hue

Maikash Badayuni

kaun aaya gesuon ko pareshan kiye hue

bardadi-e-nigah ka saman kiye hue

phir chahta huun ḳhanjar-e-qatil se irtibat

dushvari-e-hayat ko asan kiye hue

phir sahil-e-murad ki hai dil ko aarzu

kashti ko nazr-e-shorish-e-tufan kiye hue

phir huun tire taghaful-e-zahir ka shikva-sanj

jaan ko fida-e-pursish-e-pinhan kiye hue

phir hain harim-e-naz se jalvon ki barishen

hairani-e-nigah ka saman kiye hue

‘maikash’ nahin mujhe mai-o-mai-ḳhana ki talash

baiTha huun chashm-e-yar se paiman kiye hue
