Ghazal: Kab dil ko ham ne waqf-e-tamanna na kiya tha


Kab dil ko ham ne waqf-e-tamanna na kiya tha
Tab se kiya tha jab shroo chalna na kiya tha

Jaise kiya he haalat-e-dil ko mere bai kul
Ye haal tu ne ishq kisi ka na kiya tha

Ham ko Tu khud kalamiyoo.N se kam sanam tha
Rasta sukhan ka aap se jab wa na kiya tha


Be kaif he the zindagi majnoo.N ki qasam se
Jab tak ke khud ko aashiq-e-laila na kiya tha

Yousuf ke husn ka koi chracha na hua tha
Jab tak ke aam haal-e-zlaikha na kiya tha

Jab tak tumhare husn ka fitna na utha tha
Tab tak khuda ne hashr ka waada na kiya tha
