humko junoon kya sikhlate ho

humko junoon kya sikhlate ho, hum thay pareshan tumse ziyada
chaak kiye hain humne azizon, char girehbaan tumse ziyada
chaak-e-jigar mohtaaj-e-rafoo hai, aaj toh daaman sirf lahoo hai
ek mausam tha humko raha hai shauq-e-baharan tumse ziyada
ehd-e-wafa yaaron se nibhayen, naaz-e-harifan hans ke uthayen,
tab humen armaan tumse siva tha, ab hain pasheman tumse ziyada
jao tum apne baam ki khatir, saari lauwen shamon ki katar lo,
zakhm ke mahar-o-mah salamat, jashn-e-chiraghan tumse ziyada
hum bhi hamesha qatl huye, aur tumne bhi dekha door se lekin,
ye na samjhna humko hua hai jaan ka nuksaan tumse ziyada
zanjeer-o-deewar hi dekhi tumne toh majrooh, magar hum
kucha kucha dekh rahe hain aalam-e-zindan tumse ziyada

  1. I had posted this poem on my blog after I heard it today, and then stumbled across it on your blog.
    Majruh Sultanpuri isn't someone I have read much, but this poem has the freshness and ease of the modern Urdu. It is almost reminiscent of Faiz and Nasir Kazmi and it's just beautiful!!

    I am surprised at such 'shusta' Urdu on a blog with 'Devanagari' script. :) (No offense, just misconceptions of an Urdu speaker who cannot read anything in Devanagari and does not understand a word of proper Hindi.)

    Beautiful Effort!
