Afeef Siraj
vo jo husn-e-kul ki dalil tha vo khayal aa ke saja gaya
ladin yuun nigah se bijliyan koi jaise parde utha gaya
main hikayat-e-dil-e-be-nava men isharat-e-gham-e-javidan
main vo harf-e-akhir-e-motabar jo likha gaya na padha gaya
main charagh-e-hasrat-e-nim-shab men sharar-e-atish-e-jan-ba-lab
dil-e-pur-umid ki lau tha main mujhe khud vo aa ke bujha gaya
main ghubar-e-rah-e-talab raha hua dar-ba-dar jo chali hava
main ujad ke jab hua mutmain to vo mujh ko dil men basa gaya
pas-e-parda dil ka rafiq tha sar-e-parda mera raqib tha
main miyan-e-radd-o-qubul tha ki vo aa ke parda hata gaya
mujhe fikr thi miri zaat par koi rang bhi na chadhe magar
vo kamal-e-ghairat-e-aina mira aks mujh ko dikha gaya
mira dil amiin tha nigah ka thi nigah mahram-e-tajraba
vo fusun-e-jalva ki aabru mire tajrabon ko mita gaya
