tazad-e-jazbaat mein ye nazuk maqam aaya to kya karoge

tazād-e-jazbāt meñ ye nāzuk maqām aayā to kyā karoge

maiñ ro rahā huuñ tum hañs rahe ho maiñ muskurāyā to kyā karoge

mujhe to is darja vaqt-e-ruḳhsat sukūñ kī talqīn kar rahe ho

magar kuchh apne liye bhī sochā maiñ yaad aayā to kyā karoge

abhī to tanqīd ho rahī hai mire mazāq-e-junūñ pe lekin

tumhārī zulfoñ kī barhamī kā savāl aayā to kyā karoge

tumhāre jalvoñ kī raushnī meñ nazar kī hairāniyāñ musallam

magar kisī ne nazar ke badle jo dil āzmāyā to kyā karoge

utar to sakte ho yaar lekin ma.aal par bhī nigāh kar lo

ḳhudā-nā-karda sukūn-e-sāhil na raas aayā to kyā karoge

kuchh apne dil par bhī zaḳhm khaao mire lahū kī bahār kab tak

mujhe sahārā banāne vaalo maiñ laḌkhaḌāyā to kyā karoge

abhī to dāman chhuḌā rahe ho bigaḌ ke 'qābil' se jā rahe ho

magar kabhī dil kī dhaḌkanoñ meñ sharīk paayā to kyā karoge

tazad-e-jazbaat mein ye nazuk maqam aaya to kya karoge

main ro raha hun tum hans rahe ho main muskuraya to kya karoge

mujhe to is darja waqt-e-ruKHsat sukun ki talqin kar rahe ho

magar kuchh apne liye bhi socha main yaad aaya to kya karoge

abhi to tanqid ho rahi hai mere mazaq-e-junun pe lekin

tumhaari zulfon ki barhami ka sawal aaya to kya karoge

tumhaare jalwon ki raushni mein nazar ki hairaniyan musallam

magar kisi ne nazar ke badle jo dil aazmaya to kya karoge

utar to sakte ho yar lekin maal par bhi nigah kar lo

KHuda-na-karda sukun-e-sahil na ras aaya to kya karoge

kuchh apne dil par bhi zaKHm khao mere lahu ki bahaar kab tak

mujhe sahaara banane walo main laDkhaDaya to kya karoge

abhi to daman chhuDa rahe ho bigaD ke 'qabil' se ja rahe ho

magar kabhi dil ki dhaDkanon mein sharik paya to kya karoge
