Ghazal

*

Dekhana bhi to unhen duur se dekhaa karanaa
Shewaa-e-ishq* nahii.n husn ko rusavaa karanaa
Shewa = tariqa / reet / dastoor
*
Ek nazar hi teri kaafi thi ki ai raahat-e-jaan
kuchh bhi dushwaar* n thaa mujh ko shakibaa* karanaa
Dushwaar = mushkil | Shakibaa = mariz / rogi
*
Un ko yaaN waade pe aa lene de ay abr-e-bahaar
Jis taraa chaahana phir baad men barasaa karanaa
*
Shaam ho yaa ki sahar, yaad unhin ki rakh le
Din ho yaa raat, hamen zikr unhin kaa karanaa
*
Kuchh samajh men nahin aataa ki ye kyaa hai ‘Hasrat’
Un se milakar bhi n izhaar-e-tamannaa karanaa
*
