Zaban Kya Hai Mohabbat Ki Guftugu Kya Hai

Bismil Saeedi

zaban kya hai mohabbat ki guftugu kya hai

ba-juz nigah ke paigham-e-arzu kya hai

ye jan-e-husn-e-mohabbat hai aarzu kya hai

na ho ye dil men to main kya huun aur tu kya hai

lahu jo garm na kar de vo aarzu kya hai

jo aarzu se na garma.e vo lahu kya hai

ḳhuda kare na kare husn se tajavuz-e-ishq

abhi to mujh se vahi kah rahe hain tu kya hai

tujhe bhi bhuul ga.e tere DhunDne vaale

ye hosh bhi to nahin hai ki justuju kya hai

baja ki ḳhuun ki garmi ka naam hai insan

na ho jo garm-e-mohabbat se vo lahu kya hai

ghalat samajh ke nahin dekhta huun teri taraf

ye dekhta huun ki andaz-e-guftugu kya hai

jinhen hai tujh se mohabbat vo jante bhi nahin

ki rashk kahte hain kis chiiz ko adu kya hai

rahe ilahi mire dil ki aabru qaa.em

sadaf men hai ye guhar dil men aarzu kya hai

hai un ki jumbish-e-abru pe aabru ka madar

jo jante bhi nahin hain ki aabru kya hai

siva.e zauq-e-nazar aur kuchh nahin ‘bismil’

ye phuul kya hain ye phulon men rang-o-bu kya hai
