Na Hoti Haal-E-dil Kahne Ki Gar Himmat To Achchha Tha

Poet

na hoti hal-e-dil kahne ki gar himmat to achchha tha

na sunet kaash vo sharh-e-gham-e-ulfat to achchha tha

miri betabi-e-dil badh gai hai al-aman kitni

nikalti gar na shauq-e-did ki hasrat to achchha tha

vo rahat-be-ziyan sabit hui kitni hubab-asa

kabhi hota na itmam-e-shab-e-furqat to achchha tha

hua kyuun iltifat un ka badha kyuun hausla mera

nihan phulon men rahti aah gar nikhat to achchha tha

tamanna hai fuzun hon shorishen jazb-e-mohabbat ki

dil-e-muztar ki badhti aur bhi vahshat to achchha tha

rahen gham ki sharar-angeziyan ya-rab qayamat tak

‘haya’ gham se na milti gar kabhi fursat to achchha tha
