Na Zikr-E-Ashna Ne Qissa-E-Begana Rakhte Hain

Shah Naseer

na zikr-e-ashna ne qissa-e-begana rakhte hain

hadis-e-yar rakhte hain yahi afsana rakhte hain

chaman men sarv-qad gar jalva-e-mastana rakhte hain

ba-rang-e-tauq-e-qumri ham khat-e-paimana rakhte hain

khayal ankhon ka teri jabki ai janana rakhte hain

to juun nargis har ik angusht bar paimana rakhte hain

numayan zulf ke halqe men kar tuk khal-e-ariz ko

ki hain sayyad jitne daam men vo daana rakhte hain

ba-juz-aina mashuqon ki kab ho zulf-pardazi

ki aks-e-panja-e-mizhgan se dast-e-shana rakhte hain

bajae halqa-e-kakul hain khal-e-ru-e-said-afgan

ba-chashm-e-dam ja-e-mardumuk yaan daana rakhte hain

bisan-e-chob-o-naqqara hain khaar o abla-pai

ba-vadi-e-junun-angez naubat-khana rakhte hain

nahin ashk-e-musalsal ye gareban-gir ai saaqi

gale men apne ashiq subha-e-sad-dana rakhte hain

sada-e-ashnai misl-e-hamdam ho so vo jaane

ki misl-e-bansuri angusht-bar har khana rakhte hain

na uljho is qadar be-vajh suljhane men zulfon ke

dil-e-sad-chak to ham bhi ba-rang-e-shana rakhte hain

dil apna kyuun na ho bahr-e-jahan men juun guhar kaala

talash-e-ab hai ham ko na fikr-e-dana rakhte hain

na kyunkar bazm men raushan ho apni shab ye dil-sozi

ki ulfat shama-ru se ham bhi juun parvana rakhte hain

bahar aai hai ab to ai junun ho silsila jumban

ki ham muddat se qasd-e-raftan-e-virana rakhte hain

nigah tuk abru-o-chashm-e-butan par kijiyo zahid

ki ye mehrab-e-masjid ke tale mai-khana rakhte hain

bithaen sarv-o-shamshad apne sar par kyuun na qumri ko

tire qad ke hain bande vaz-e-azadana rakhte hain

thikana kuchh na puchho ham se tum khana-ba-doshon ka

jahan juun bu-e-gul thahre vahin kashana rakhte hain

hamen mat chhed kar dekho rulao aur jalao tum

ki tufan chashm men siine men atiash-khana rakhte hain

karenge baiat-e-dast-e-subu pir-e-mughan tujh se

ki shauq-e-sharb-e-mai hai mashrab-e-rindana rakhte hain

‘nasir’ ab ham ko kya hai qissa-e-kaunain se matlab

ki chashm-e-pur-fusun-e-yar ka afsana rakhte hain

‘nasir’ us shokh se kahna ki pesh-e-chashm-e-hairat men

tasavvur roz-o-shab tera ham ai janana rakhte hain
