Tujh Mein Kab Husn-E-Bahaar-E-Gul Ki Ranai Na Thi

Poet

tujh men kab husn-e-bahar-e-gul ki ra.ana.i na thi

kab tire jalvon ki ik duniya tamasha.i na thi

zindagi bhar aarzu ka ḳhuun hi hota raha

lab pe lekin ek din bhi aah tak aa.i na thi

ishq hai ik atish-e-dil-soz men jalne ka naam

ham ko to roz-e-azal ye baat samjha.i na thi

ham rahe hain manzilon hi manzilon men umr bhar

jaise qismat men kisi pahlu shakeba.i na thi

ik chaman kya do jahan ki afaton se duur tha

ghuncha-e-nauras ke lab tak jab hansi aa.i na thi

kya kahun ‘jauhar’ jo mere jan-o-dil par ban ga.i

maut ka paigham tha ik sham-e-tanha.i na thi
