MAAYOOSE

MAAYOOSEE!

Dar rahaa hooN keh mulaaqaat nah ho jaaYe kaheeN!
aaNkh`oN aaNkh`oN meN koyee baat nah ho jaaYe kaheeN!
nauHah-KhwaaN shorish-e-jaZbaat nah ho jaaYe kaheeN
munkashif tujh` pah miree Zaat nah ho jaaYe kaheeN
aur bayaaN Soorat-e-Haalaat nah ho jaaYe kaheeN!

woh tiree neem-nigaahee, woh tab-o-taab-e-jamaal
tere abroo kaa takabbur, tiree qaamat kaa jalaal
th`ar-th`araate huYe lab, tere woh ruKhsaar, woh Khaal
i'shq-e-Khushkaam kee sargoshee kaa rangeen woh jaal
saaz-e-dil par woh dh`aRakte huYe sur aur woh taal
mauj-e-naGhmah ho koyee yaa kisee shaai'r kaa Khayaal!
saaNs ukh`Ree huyee gh`aRyoN kee, woh lamHe beHaal
garmee-e-joshish-e-jaZbaat sar-e-shaam-e-wiSaal
dil woh deewaanah! keh begaanah-e-afkaar-o-malaal
nah Gham-o-ranj-o-taraddud, nah koyee Khauf-e-ma,aal!

mujh` ko sab yaad hai, teraa woh judaa ho jaanaa
apne Haalat peh bandoN kaa Khudaa ho jaanaa!

woh mah-o-saal, woh din raat kahaaN se laa,ooN?
saath` guZre huYe lamHaat kahaaN se laa,ooN?

too naheeN hai nah sahee, yeh dil-e-barbaad to hai!
luT gayaa saaraa jahaaN, ek tiree yaad to hai!

mujh` ko ma'loom hai, ab tujh` ko naheeN paa,ooN gaa
maiN kaheeN door, bohat door chalaa jaa,ooN gaa!
