Nigah-E-Shauq Se Kab Tak Muqabla Karte

Arshi Bhopali

nigah-e-shauq se kab tak muqabla karte

vo iltifat na karte to aur kya karte

ye rasm-e-tark-e-mohabbat bhi ham ada karte

tere baghair magar zindagi ko kya karte

ghurur-e-husn ko manus-e-iltija karte

vo ham nahin ki jo ḳhud-dariyan fana karte

kisi ki yaad ne taḌpa diya phir aa ke hamen

hui thi der na kuchh dil se mashvara karte

ye puchho husn ko ilzam dene valon se

jo vo sitam bhi na karta to aap kya karte

sitam-shi.ar azal se hai husn ki fitrat

jo main vafa bhi na karta to vo jafa karte

hamen to apni tabahi ki daad bhi na mili

tiri navazish-e-beja ka kya gila karte

nigah-e-naz ki masumiyat are tauba

jo ham fareb na khate to aur kya karte

nigah-e-lutf ki taskin ka shukriya lekin

mata-e-dard ko kis dil se ham juda karte
