مجھے اپنی پستی کی شرم ہے تری رفعتوں کا خیال ہے — اختر شیرانی

Mujhe apni pasti ki sharm hai teri rifaton ka khayal hai

Mujhe apni pasti ki sharm hai teri rifaton ka khayal hai
Magar apne dil ko main kya karoon use phir bhi shauq-e-visaal hai
Is ada se kaun ye jalwa-gar sar-e-bazm-e-husn-e-khayal hai
Jo nafas hai mast-e-bahar hai jo nazar hai gharq-e-jamal hai
Unhein zid hai arz-e-visaal se mujhe shauq-e-arz-e-visaal hai
Wohi ab bhi un ka jawab hai wohi ab bhi mera sawal hai
Teri yaad mein hua jab se gum tere gum-shuda ka ye haal hai
Ke na door hai na qareeb hai na firaq hai na visaal hai
Teri bazm-e-khalwat-e-la-makaan tera aastaan mah o kahkashaan
Magar aye sitara-e-aarzoo mujhe aarzoo-e-visaal hai
Main watan mein rah ke bhi be-watan ke nahin hai ek bhi hum-sukhan
Hai koi shareek-e-gham o mahn to woh ik naseem-e-shumal hai
Main bataun waiz-e-khush-nawa hai jahan o khuld mein farq kya
Ye agar fareb-e-khayal hai woh fareb-e-husn-e-khayal hai
Yehi daad-e-qissa-e-gham mili ke nazar uthi na zabaan mili
Faqat ik tabassum-e-sharmageen meri be-kasi ka ma'aal hai
Woh khushi nahin hai woh dil nahin magar un ka saya sa hum-nisheen
Faqat ek gham-zada yaad hai faqat ik fasurda khayal hai
Kahein kis se Akhtar-e-be-nawa humein bazm-e-dahr se kya mila
Wohi ek saghar-e-zahr-e-gham jo hareer-e-nosh-e-kamaal hai
