Labon Tak Aaya Zaban Se Magar Kaha Na Gaya

Yazdani Jalandhari

labon tak aaya zaban se magar kaha na gaya

fasana dard ka al-muḳhtasar kaha na gaya

harim-e-naz men kya baat thi jo raaz rahi

vo harf kya tha jo bar-e-digar kaha na gaya

ye hadsa bhi ajab hai ki tere gham ke siva

kisi bhi gham ko gham-e-mo’tabar kaha na gaya

nafas nafas men tha ehsas-e-ḳhana-virani

ḳharaba-e-gham-e-hasti ko ghar kaha na gaya

talash karta huun ima-e-iltifat abhi

vo kya nazar thi ki jis ko nazar kaha na gaya

junun ne fikr-o-nazar ko vo rif.aten baḳhshin

ḳhirad ko ham se kabhi dida-var kaha na gaya

na koi shor na ghaugha na hav-hu na ḳharosh

ḳhizan ko mausam-e-derina-gar kaha na gaya

dil iztirab-e-guzarish ka mahsharistan tha

kisi ke samne kuchh bhi magar kaha na gaya
