Main Chahun Bhi to Zabt-E-Guftugu Main La Nahin Sakta

Poet

main chahun bhi to zabt-e-guftugu main la nahin sakta

samajhne par bhi dil ka mudda.a samjha nahin sakta

bhala aisi tahi-daman tamannaon se kya hasil

bahalne par dil amada hai aur bahla nahin sakta

ḳhuda mahfuz rakkhe ḳhauf-e-aseb-e-asiri se

main gulshan men bhi azadi ka naghma ga nahin sakta

rag-e-gul se bhi nazuk-tar hain tinke ashiyane ke

inhen gulchin har andaz-e-navazish bha nahin sakta

bhara ja.ega kab tak ḳhun-e-mazi nabz-e-farda men

ab is pahlu pe nazm-e-qalb-e-geti aa nahin sakta

kise fitna samajh kar apni mahfil se uThata hai

zamir-e-amn is dhoke men nadan aa nahin sakta

sahab-e-fikr bhi ‘yaqub’ paband-e-faza nikla

chaman ki ḳhaak par rang-e-suḳhan barsa nahin sakta
