yahin ke thi mohabbat ke sabaq ke ibtada main ne
yahin ke jurrat-e-izhar-e-harf-e-mudd’a main ne
yahin dekhe the ishv-e-naz-o-andaz-e-haya main ne
yahin pahale suni thi dil dhadakane ke sada main ne
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
dilon mein izdaham-e-arazu lab band rehte the
nazar se guftagu hoti thi dam ulfat ka bharate the
na mathe par shikan hoti, na jab tevar badalate the
khuda bhi muskura deta tha jab hum pyar karte the
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
wo kya aata ke goya daur mein jam-e-sharab aata
wo kya aata rangili ragani rangin rabab aata
mujhe ranginiyon mein rangane wo rangin sahab aata
labon ke mein pilane jhumata mast-e-shabab aata
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinaro yaad hai ab bhi
haya ke bojh se jab har qadam par lagazishen hotin
fazan mein muntasar rangin badan ke larazishen hotin
rabab-e-dil ke taron mein musalasil jumbishen hotin
khifa-e-raz ke purlutf baham koshishen hotin
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
bala-e-fikr-e-farda hum se koson dur hoti thi
surur-e-sarmadi se zindagi mamur hoti thi
hamari khilwat-e-masum rashq-e-tur hoti thi
malak jhula jhulate the gazal-khwan hur hoti thi
yahin kheton mein pani ke kinare yaad hai ab bhi
na ab wo khet baqi hain na wo aab-e-rawan baqi
magar us aish-e-rafta ka hai ik dhundala nishan baqi

Poet of the Poem/Ghazal or Nazam: Makhdoom Mohiuddin

aj to be sabab udas hai jee
ishq hota to koi bat bhi thi

jalata phirata hun kyun dopehron mein
jane kya cheez kho gai meri

waheen phirata hun main bhi khak basar
is bhare shahar mein hai ek gali

chupata phirata hai ishq duniya se
phailati ja rahi hai rusvai

hamnashin kya kahun ke vo kya hai
chod ye bat nind udane lagi

aj to vo bhi kuch khamosh sa tha
main ne bhi us se koi bat na ke

ek dam us ke hath chum liye
ye mujhe baithe baithe kya sujhi

tu jo itana udas hai ‘nasir’
tujhe kya ho gaya bata to sahi

Bahut Dur Magar Bahut Paas Rehte Ho
Aankhon Se Dur Magar Dil Ke Paas Rehte Ho
Mujhe Bas Itna Bataa Do Ae Dost
Kya Tum Bhi Mere Bina Udaas Rehte Ho

Chaand To Nikla Hai Magar Ye Raat Na Hai Pehli Si,
Ye Mulakat Mulakat Na Hai Pehli Si,
Ranj Kuch Kam To Hua Aaj Milne Se,
Ye Alag Baat Hai Ke Ye Baat Na Hai Pehli Si…

Dard Me Koi Mousam Pyara Nahi Hota,
Dil Ho Pyasa To Pani Se Gujara Nahi Hota.
Koi Dekhe To Humari Bebasi,
Hum Sabhi K Ho Jate Hain Par Koi Humara Nahi Hota.

Jaagti Raat K Honton Pe Fasaney Jaisy
Ek Pal Men Simat Aaye Hon Zamany Jaisy

Aqal Kehti Hai Bhula Do Jo Nahi Mil Paya
Dil Wo Pagal K Koi Baat Na Maany Jaisy

Raasty Men Wohi Manzar Hen Puraany Ab Tak
Bus Kami Hai To Nahi Log Puraany Jaisy Read more »

Duniya Me Haqiqat Ka Pta Kuch Nahi
Ilzam Hazaro H Khataa Kuch Nahi
Meri Zindgi Mei Kya H Padh Na Sakoge
Bas Ashqo Ke Daag H Aur Likha Kuch Nahi

Teri KHUSI Thi SAFAR Krna Pada
Hr KADAM Pr Magar Tut’na Bhikrna Pada
Duba’ne Wale MUTMAIN Hue Ke Nhi
Ye FIKR Thi Jo Meri Lash Ko Ubhrna Pada
