Nafaz-E-Nazm Pur-Israr Hai Aisa Nahin Lagta

Arshad Abdul Hamid

nafaz-e-nazm pur-israr hai aisa nahin lagta

gulistan men koi sarkar hai aisa nahin lagta

yahan har jeb men ḳhvabon ki zar-muhren khanakti hain

ye duniya dard ka bazar hai aisa nahin lagta

ham apni jhonk men aage ki janib baḌhte jaate hain

hamare samne divar hai aisa nahin lagta

sar-e-pindar se pa-e-junun ka rabt gha.eb hai

ye piḌhi barsar-e-paikar hai aisa nahin lagta

main jaise ek rah-e-sust-rau ki sair karta huun

miri ranon tale rahvar hai aisa nahin lagta

umaD ke aaya to hai abr-e-girya matla-e-jan se

magar ye sa.iqa-bardar hai aisa nahin lagta

ba-yak jast-e-tasavvur bazm-e-janan men pahunchta hai

ye ‘arshad’ hijr ka bimar hai aisa nahin lagta
