Tasawwur Humne Jab Tera Kiya Pesh-E-Nazar Paya

Jalal Lakhnavi

tasavvur ham ne jab tera kiya pesh-e-nazar paaya

tujhe dekha jidhar dekha tujhe paaya jidhar paaya

kahan ham ne na is dard-e-nihani ka asar paaya

yahan uTTha vahan chamka idhar aaya udhar paaya

pata us ne diya tera mila jo ishq men ḳhud gum

ḳhabar teri usi se paa.i jis ko be-ḳhabar paaya

dil-e-betab ke pahlu se jaate hi gaya sab kuchh

na pa.in siine men aa.hen na aahon men asar paaya

vo chashm-e-muntazir thi jis ko dekha aa ke va tum ne

vo naala tha hamara jis ko sote raat bhar paaya

main huun vo na-tavan pinhan raha ḳhud aankh se apni

hamesha aap ko gum surat-e-tar-e-nazar paaya

habib apna agar dekha to dagh-e-ishq ko dekha

tabib apna agar paaya to ik dard-e-jigar paaya

kya gum ham ne dil ko justuju men dagh-e-hasrat ki

kisi ko pa ke kho baiThe kisi ko DhunDh kar paaya

bahut se ashk-e-rangin ai ‘jalal’ is aankh se Tapke

magar be-rang hi dekha na kuchh rang-e-asar paaya
