Poet Name: Rahman Khawar

ishq karne kā irāda ho to ham se milnā tum ko ḳhud se kabhī milnā ho to ham se milnā

vo apne ishq meñ kaisā kamāl rakhtā hai ki be-ruḳhī meñ bhī merā ḳhayāl rakhtā hai jo aaj merā nahīñ

na ho gar dhyān meñ chehra kisī kā bahut mushkil safar hai zindagī kā galī-kūche bahut raushan haiñ lekin gharoñ

kyā ye dekheñ ki koī aur tamāshā kyā hai ham ko ḳhud apne alāva nazar aatā kyā hai ba.az dariyāoñ

idhar bhī aa.eñ kabhī dhuup ke satā.e hue shajar khaḌe haiñ sar-e-rāh sar jhukā.e hue kuchh aur baat karo gardish-e-jahāñ

nazar meñ apnī kabhī is qadar burā to na thā maiñ apne-āp se pahle gurez-pā to na thā ye kyā

kaam kuchh to mirā lahū aayā baaġh meñ mausam-e-numū aayā hijr meñ tere mujh pe kyā guzrī aaj tak pūchhne

shaam guzrī hai abhī ġham kī sahar baaqī hai ik safar ḳhatm huā ek safar baaqī hai kis tarah ghar

zaḳhm to bahut aa.e phir bhī hausla rakkhā umr-bhar mohabbat meñ ham ne dil baḌā rakkhā jis ne ek lamha

ġhamoñ se hijr ke kuchh aise bad-havās rahe vo mil ga.e bhī to ham der tak udaas rahe ye anjuman
