hijr-nama paDhte paDhte dastan ho jaunga

hijr-nama padhte padhte dastan ho jaunga
ek din main bhi sharik-e-karwan ho jaunga
ba-zaban hote hue bhi be-zaban ho jaunga
dil se chaho to tumhaara raazdan ho jaunga


ba’d-az-taraj main ne ye kabhi socha na tha
phir kisi gul se milunga gulsitan ho jaunga
tum kisi wa'iz ke chakkar mein juda ho jaogi
main kisi be-sur muazzin ki azan ho jaunga


tham kar hathon mein apne waqt ki baisakhiyan
manzil-e-maqsud ki jaanib rawan ho jaunga
mutmain rahna padega par nikalne tak mujhe
gar abhi nikla qafas se be-aman ho jaunga


tirgi ki sazishen nakaam karne ke liye
subh-e-sadiq shams ki surat 'ayan ho jaunga
gar yunhi lipta raha main kakul-e-khamdar se
aag bujhte hi mohabbat ki dhuan ho jaunga


muskurane ki agar mohlat bhi di jae mujhe
is qadar majbur hun girya-kunan ho jaunga
ai pari-zadi mere andam ka ra’sha na dekh
sabr gar tuta za’ifi mein jawan ho jaunga


log sikhenge mere marne se jine ka hunar
main pae-'ushshaq 'ibrat ka nishan ho jaunga
main teri jalwagari ki tab la sakta nahin
misl-e-musa luqma-e-barq-e-tapan ho jaunga


fa'ilatun fa'ilatun fa'ilatun fa’ilun
ye rawish jari rahi to jawedan ho jaunga
maut ki hasrat banegi aakhiri chaara mera
jab mohabbat ke safar mein nim-jaan ho jaunga


jab bhi aazadi milegi gardish-e-ayyam se
main bhi 'mehwar' 'ashiq-e-bint-e-fulan ho jaunga
