Akhtar Shirani
vo kahte hain ranjish ki baten bhula den
mohabbat karen khush rahen muskura den
ghurur aur hamara ghurur-e-mohabbat
mah o mehr ko un ke dar par jhuka den
javani ho gar javedani to ya rab
tiri saada duniya ko jannat bana den
shab-e-vasl ki be-khudi chha rahi hai
kaho to sitaron ki shamen bujha den
baharen simat aaen khil jaaen kaliyan
jo ham tum chaman men kabhi muskura den
ibadat hai ik be-khudi se ibarat
haram ko mai-e-mushk-bu se basa den
vo aenge aaj ai bahar-e-mohabbat
sitaron ke bistar pe kaliyan bichha den
banata hai munh talkhi-e-mai se zahid
tujhe bagh-e-rizvan se kausar manga den
jinhen umr bhar yaad aana sikhaya
vo dil se tiri yaad kyunkar bhula den
tum afsana-e-qais kya puchhte ho
idhar aao ham tum ko laila bana den
ye be-dardiyan kab tak ai dard-e-ghurbat
buton ko phir arz-e-haram men basa den
vo sarmastiyan bakhsh ai rashk-e-shirin
ki khusru ko khvab-e-adam se jaga den
tire vasl ki be-khudi kah rahi hai
khudai to kya ham khuda ko bhula den
unhen apni surat pe yuun naaz kab tha
mire ishq-e-rusva ko ‘akhtar’ dua den
