Dagh, Urdu Nazam By Maikash Akbarabadi

hai ab tak sehr sa chhaya teri jadu-nawai ka
dil-e-urdu pe ab tak dagh hai teri judai ka

zaban-e-sher se ab bhi teri aawaz sunta hun
jo nikla tha teri mizrab se wo saz sunta hun

taghazzul ko teri rangin nawaen yaad hain ab tak
tere naghmon se dil ki bastiyan aabaad hain ab tak

dilon ko ab bhi chamkati hai sham-e-arzu teri
lab-e-tahrir par ab tak hai shirin guftugu teri

tere jazbaat mein ab tak sadaqat jagmagati hai
teri guftar ki shoKHi dilon ko gudgudati hai

niyaz-o-naz ki mahfil mein tera nam rahta hai
tere maston ke aage ab bhi tera jam rahta hai

teri ranginiyon mein sadgi ki shan hoti hai
tere afkar ki duniya bhi sheristan hoti thi

tere naghme sukun-parwar the arbab-e-mohabbat ke
sada be-dagh dekha hai tere daman-e-fitrat

chhalakti thin tere dil ki adaen bhi nigahon se
bala ka dard hota tha teri KHamosh aahon mein
tu banda tha mohabbat ka mohabbat thi tere dil mein
samundar maujzan rahta tha is chhoTe se sahil mein

tere lab par wahi aata tha jo har dil mein hota tha
wo ban jata tha shair jo teri mahfil mein hota tha

fasih-ul-mulk tha jaan-e-fasahat teri baaten thin
qayamat jis pe dam de wo qayamat teri baaten thin

teri guftar mein hum ne mazaq-e-zindagi dekha
tere sazon mein dil ke soz ka mafhum tha goya

teri hasti ko raaz-e-do-jahan malum tha goya
farishton ka taqaddus tha tere husn-e-takallum mein

tere aansu mein soz-e-dil tha ya shoala tha shabnam mein
zaban ko hur-o-ghilman ne teri kausar se dhoya tha

KHuda ne bahr-e-ulfat mein teri ulfat ko khoya tha
anadil bhi baDhe teri taraf daman ko phailae

mohabbat ki zaban se tu ne jis dam phul barsae
faza ko kar diya rangin apni naghma-KHwani se

gulon mein phunk di ruh-e-tabassum gul-fishani se
tere naghme bahe jab nikhat-e-gul ke safine mein

to lale ne biThaya la ke tujh ko apne sine mein
har ek dard-ashna dil mein rakha tujh ko mohabbat ne
biThaya chand ke mathe pe tujh ko dast-e-qudrat ne
zamin-e-sher ne paya tha auj-e-asman tujh se

zaban ka lutf tha ai bulbul-e-hindustan tujh se
payambar tha suKHan ka to tere naghmon pe jumenge

hum apne dida-e-dil se teri turbat ko chumenge

rahenge hashr tak baqi tere naghme nahin fani
baja hai tujh ko kahte hain jo hum tilmiz-e-rahmani

tere jazbaat ke pur-kaif sailabon mein bahte hain
haqiqat-ashna tujh ko jahan-ustad kahte hain

jahan-e-arzu mein ab bhi haal-o-qal tera hai
suKHan ki mumlikat mein aaj tak iqbaal tera hai

suKHan-fahmon ke dil mein ab bhi teri yaad baqi hai
ghazal ke mai-kada jab tak hai qaem tu hi saqi hai

dakan mein zauq tha zauq-e-suKHan mahbub tha tujh ko
hamein malum hai mulk-e-dakan mahbub tha tujh ko

dakan ko aane wale bas gaya mulk-e-dakan mein tu
ki bulbul tha banaya aashiyan apna chaman mein tu

qayamat tak na bhulenge tujhe tere watan wale
kahin bulbul ke naghme bhul jate hain chaman wale

dil-e-betab ke barbat pe naghma dard ka gaya
taghazzul se hamari mahfilon ko tu ne garmaya

tere ehsan ke gun gaega josh-e-wafa-koshi
dakan walon ki fitrat mein nahin ehsan-framoshi

kaleja tham kar apna tere ashaar gaenge
dakan ki wadiyon mein hum tere naghme basaenge

aqidat-afrin gul teri turbat par chaDhaenge
tere har sher ko hum apni aankhon se lagaenge
