Mohabbat Mustaqil Kaif-Afrin Malum Hoti Hai

Behzad Lakhnavi

mohabbat mustaqil kaif-afrin malum hoti hai

ḳhalish dil men jahan par thi vahin malum hoti hai

tire jalvon se Takra kar nahin malum hoti hai

nazar bhi ek mauj-e-tah-nashin malum hoti hai

nuqush-e-pa ke sadqe bandagi-e-ishq ke qurban

mujhe har samt apni hi jabin malum hoti hai

miri rag rag men yuun to dauḌti hai ishq ki bijli

kahin zahir nahin hoti kahin malum hoti hai

ye e.ajaz-e-nazar kab hai ye kab hai husn ki kavish

hasin jo chiiz hoti hai hasin malum hoti hai

umiden toḌ de mere dil-e-muztar ḳhuda-hafiz

zaban-e-husn par ab tak nahin malum hoti hai

use kyuun mai-kada kahta hai batla de mire saaqi

yahan ki sar-zamin ḳhuld-e-barin malum hoti hai

are ai chara-gar haan haan ḳhalish tu jis ko kahta hai

ye shai dil men nahin dil ke qarin malum hoti hai

kisi ke pa-e-nazuk par jhuki hai aur nahin uThti

mujhe ‘bahzad’ ye apni jabin malum hoti hai
