Mizaj-E-Naghma-O-Sher-O-Sharab Paida Kar

Raees Niyazi

mizaj-e-naghma-o-sher-o-sharab paida kar

hayat-e-ishq men kuchh ab-o-tab paida kar

nazar ko ḳhirgi-e-shauq be-panah mile

har ek zarre se vo aftab paida kar

shikast-e-ḳhvab ke ba-vasf band hain ankhen

phir ek baar tamasha-e-ḳhvab paida kar

ye be-niyazi-e-taz.in-e-a.ina kab tak

kabhi kabhi to ḳhud apna javab paida kar

har ek zarra hai mamura-e-jamal-e-habib

dil-e-hazin nigah-e-kamyab paida kar

dil-o-nigah ko dhoke bhi raas aa.e hain

vufur-e-tishna-labi men sarab paida kar

na kar shikayat-e-dauran na ban harif-e-zaman

musibaton ka koi sadd-e-bab paida kar

pahunch buland-maqamat-e-sher-o-naghma tak

adab men ek dil-avez baab paida kar

gharaz to ye hai tira markaz-e-nigah rahun

sukun-e-dil na sahi iztirab paida kar

‘ra.is’ tujh ko to marne ki bhi nahin fursat

kaha tha kis ne ki aise azaab paida kar
