Qatl Ushshaq Kiya Karte Hain

Poet

qatl ushshaq kiya karte hain

but kahan khauf-e-khuda karte hain

sar mira tan se juda karte hain

dard ki aap dava karte hain

atish-e-gham ne magar phunk diya

dil se shole jo utha karte hain

jama-e-surkh tira dekh ke gul

pairahan apna qaba karte hain

khuun rote hain chaman men bulbul

ham gulon se jo hansa karte hain

kham-e-abru-e-sanam ko dekhen

ham ye kaabe men dua karte hain

apne saaqi ko shab-e-furqat men

paani pi pi ke dua karte hain

roz do-char ka khuun karta hai

dast-o-pa surkh raha karte hain

mar gae par hadaf-e-tir hai khaak

ja-ba-ja tode bana karte hain

dahan-e-zakhm se ham qatil ke

tegh ko chuum liya karte hain

shor-e-mahshar se daren kya ashiq

aise hangame hua karte hain

hote hain dil men nihayat nadim

khuun jo be-jurm kiya karte hain

mehndi malne ke bahane qatil

kaf-e-afsos mala karte hain

evaz-e-bada gham-e-saqi men

khun-e-dil apna piya karte hain

paanv tak haath na pahuncha us ki

haath haihat mala karte hain

jo hamen bhuul gaya hai zalim

us ko ham yaad kiya karte hain

na-tavani ne diye par ham ko

jivan-e-par-e-kah uda karte hain

ham bane chand ke haale ‘goya’ hain

gird us mah ke raha karte hain
