Mata-E-Ishq Zara Aur Sarf-E-Naz to Ho

Gauhar Hoshiyarpuri

mata-e-ishq zara aur sarf-e-naz to ho

tazzi-e-umr ka aḳhir koi javaz to ho

ba-ham-digar koi shab us se lab-ba-lab to chale

hava-e-shauq kuchh aluda-e-majaz to ho

qadam qadam koi saaya sa muttasil to rahe

sarab ka ye sar-e-silsila daraz to ho

vo kam-suḳhan na kam-amez phir takalluf kya

kuchh us se baat to Thahre kuchh us se saaz to ho

vafa se manzil-e-tark-e-vafa tak aa nikle

kisi bahane to patthar kabhi gudaz to ho

shafaq kinaya-e-lab shaam istara-e-zulf

kabhi ḳhayal vasilon se be-niyaz to ho

huzur-e-naz abas hai ḳhayal-e-jan ‘gauhar’

niyaz mahram-e-ḳhamyaza-e-niyaz to ho
