Nala-E-dil Ki To Kotahi Nahin

Poet

nala-e-dil ki to kotahi nahin

par asar kuchh us ko hota hi nahin

kitna vo qatil hai be-khauf-o-khatar

tegh-e-khun-aluda dhota hi nahin

us gali men jis tarah rota huun main

us tarah to koi rota hi nahin

khar-zar-e-ishq ko kya ho gaya

paanv men kante chubhota hi nahin

tark ki lazzat se vaqif kaun hain

gar na hota jaan khota hi nahin

janta gar dil hai mazra yaas ka

tukhm-e-ummid is men bota hi nahin

jon sukhan aata hai silk-e-nazm men

yuun koi moti pirota hi nahin

khvab men ‘joshish’ vo aae kis tarah

ashiq-e-be-tab sota hi nahin
