The soul of love ( rooh-e-ishq)

By Ajaz Ahmed

Tum Pai ilzaam-e-ishq tha toh giraftar krr liya Talab-e-deed thi muddat se ajj dedaar krr liya

Khawabon mai lub se lub toh milay hain bahut baar Haqikat mai jo milay toh bhosa-e-ruksaar krr liya

Muje yakeen nahi tha Ishq zindagi barbad krta hai Tumhari aankhon Mai jub dekha toh aitbaar krr liya

Ak awara baaz jo tha shikaari har hussan kaa Tumhari nigah-e-noor nai who bhi shikaar krr liya

Suna hai tum bikk jatay ho bss doo meethay bool pai Who AJAZ jo shayar tha tum nai apna kharidaar krr liya

Uss bawafa ka lafaz-e-zubaan badal gaya Muhabbat ka frr yuh gulistaan badal gaya

Who tou madhoosh Tha auron ka Daman ma Mere liye tou ak pal Mai jahaan badal gaya

Who tou gaya akhir Jana hi tha usko Jate jate Meri barsoon ki dastaan badal gaya

Ab shub,shair,dhupair sub ak maanid hai Yuh lag Raha muje yeh asmaan badal gaya

Mai usko doondnai nikla Jo raahoon Mai Who zalim apne paaon ka nishan badal gaya

Mane usko khuda Mana tha mazheb-e-ishq ka AJAZ” who kafir dekh tera bhi imaan badal gaya

Yeh teer-e-ishq jane kab kamaan se nikl gya Masoom dil har’badha ke ashiyan se nikl gya

Muhabbat kitni hai tumse jata hi diya bil’akhir Naa chahate huai bhi jane kse zubaan se nikl gya

Imtihaan dr imtihaan yeh asool hai ishq ka Mai jaahil jane kse hrr imtihaan se nikl gya

Kiya ha kufr bhi shirk bhi tuje khuda maan ke Maine sajda kiya tujhe mai Imaan se nikl gya

Muhabbat wafa qurbani hain chand alfaaz duniya meri Ksi se wasta nhi mai duniya ki dastan se nikl gya

Alfaazon mai zinda ha naam tera ab bhi AJAZ Who alg baat hai tu roog-e-ishq mai jahan se nikl gya

Baad-e-saba uddha ke sath yaad unki layi hai Sher-o-sukhan mai liptii fariyaad unki layi hai

Shukr-e-sitam pai likhai hain mehboob nai fasane Dar-e-yaar pai who saari rudaad unki layi hai

Sadhmon kai teer lagai hain kitne rooh-e-yaar pai Hai kalam-e-haq sai likhi joo tadaad unki layi hai

Badal Raha hai rang asmaan Jane kyu Har parinda Chahta hai unchi udaan Jane kyu

Badal rahi hawaayan mizaaj is qadar Veeran ho Raha yeh Jahaan Jane kyu

Khander sa ho Gaya Mera makaan Jane kyu Karobaar-o-nafrat ki khul gyi dukaan jane kyu

Udaasiyon ka moosam hai is qadar chaiya Har Gali muhalla lag Raha shamshaan Jane kyu

Hua nafratoon ki Jung ka Elaan Jane kyu Rishtoon Mai aa gyi yeh chataan Jane kyu

Jub sai Mili kalam gum hai apni duniya Mai Ajaz” bhool gya chlana teer-o-kamaan Jane kyu

6

Tu sawal-e-ishq aur mai tera jawaab nahi Tu ilm-e-ishq aur mere pass kitaab nahi

Muje mere hi khawabon se hai nafrat kyu ? Tu tabeer hai aur tera mai khawaab nahi

7

Tum ko tum hi sai churaya hai tumhe khabar nhi Laboon sai palkoon tak sajaya hai tumhe khabar nhi

Tumhare ghum ka jaam pee Kai jaana

Humnai tum ko hasaya hai tumhe khabar nhi

Khayaloon Mai seena sai lagaya hai tumhe khabar Nhi Tumhare Dil ko ishq pai manaya hai tumhe khabar Nhi

Suna ba’chain ho neend bhi gayab hai Tumhari Muhabbat nai ratoon ko jagaya hai tumhe khabar Nhi

Kis ghum nai sataya hai tumhe khabar nhi Kyu chiraag-e-khushi bujaya hai tumhe khabar nhi

Yeh meethi baatain sun krr sub raaz khool Diya Ajaz “ nai kis jaal Mai fasaya hai tumhe khabar nhi

Tu dard Teri dawa hu Mai Tu saans Teri hawa hu Mai Yuh dar-badr Kai na illaaj lai Tu roogh teri shafa hu Mai Tu ghoor krr zra muj ko Jaan Tu ishq Teri wafa hu Mai Tu Jaan krr kyu Nahi jaanta Meri Jaan tuj sai khafa hu Mai Mukaam apna aa Jaan la Tu yakeen Tera dagha hu Mai Inteha-e-zulam tu nhi janta ?? Tu zulam tera gawah hu Mai Ajaz naam ab na pukarana Taraq-e-taluq krne laga hu Mai !

Intezaar-e-yaar ka ab mje intezaar nahi

Deedaar-e-yaar ka bhi ab talabgaar nahi

Qaiday ishq kai whe rkho majnu ka daur Kai Daur-e-jadeed kay ishq pai mje Aitbaar nahi

Mai waqaf kr’doon zindigi mere yaar ki khatir Baki jahaan Mai main ksi aur ka tabedar nahi

Nazrana-e-ishq Mai paish bhi krr deta zindgi Prr who bewafa ab iss ka zra bhi haqdar nahi

Uss bawfaa, gustakh-e-ishq ko batana yeh tum zroor Kai sacha ishq hota ksi ki wafa ka talabgaar nahi

Mere bss Mai hota tou bhula deta kbka usai AJAZ Majboor hoon Kai meri rooh pai mera ikhtiyar nahi

10

Koi ghurbat mai tou koi sakhawat Mai mrr gya Koi sajdoon mai srr kata kai ibadat mai mrr gya

Mujrim ka sar buland ‘daulat kai zoor pai Maasoom umeed-e-insaaf mai adalat Mai mrr gya

Aur jis nai kasam khai thi insaaf-e-haq ki dekho Who kanoon-daan jhuthi wakalat Mai mrr gya

Jo rishta muhabbat ka mera subse paak tha Jaana tere ishq ki Gandii siyasat mai mrr gya

Majnu ki zindagi sai mila yeh ishq ka sabaq Wafadar bawafaon kii bagawat mai mrr gya

Tumhe jan’na hai kyu tumhe Mai qatil bulata hun Tou suno mera dil tumhari kafalat mai mrr gya

Ghalib ko padh kai bhi agr kalam uthataa naa ajaz Hota ilzaam murshad ka mai jahalat Mai mrr gya

11

Musanif nai naya baab rusva’ii mai likh diya Aanso se dard-e-zindagi tanha’ii mai likh diya

Rooh-e-ishq aur raaz-e-raaz mai dafan Hain raaz kaii Kisi raaz se hata na parda itni gehra’ii mai likh diya
