Ye hosh kis ko rahega nigaah-e-yaar ke baad !

Haram aur dair ke katbey wo dekhey - ‘Seemab’ Akbarabadi

Haram aur dair ke katbey wo dekhey jis ko fursat hai,
Yahaan hadd-e-nazar tak sirf unwaan-e-muhabbat hai;

 Parastaar-e-muhabbat ki muhabbat hi shariyat hai,
Kisi ko yaad kar ke aah kar lenaa ibaadat hai;

Ho ek kiradaar tum bhi merey mamool-e-muhabbat ka,
Mujhe tumse nahin apni muhabbat se muhabbat hai;

Wo kya sajda ? rahe ehsaas jismein sar uthaane ka,
Ibaadat aur ba-qaid-e-hosh tauheen-e-ibaadat hai;

 Meri dewaangi pe hosh waale bahas farmaaein,
Magar pahle unhein deewana ban’ne ki zaroorat hai;

 Maqaam-e-ishq ko har aadmi ‘seemab’ kya samjhe,
Ye hai ek martabaa, jo maawara-e-aadmiyat hai..!!!


~ Hazrat ‘Seemab’ Akbarabadi Sahab

Sajda kar ke qadam-e-yaar pe qurbaan hona - ‘Wamiq’ Jaunpuri Sahab

Sajda kar ke qadam-e-yaar pe qurbaan hona,

Yun likha tha meri kismat mein musalmaan hona;

 

Jiska mazhab ho faqat yaad-e-sanam deed-e-sanam,

Wo nahin jaanta kaafir ya musalmaan hona;

 

Husn ko poojna aur jaam-e-muhabbat peena,

Mashrab-e-ishq mein yun sahib-e-imaan hona;

 

Maqtab-e-ishq mein ‘Wamiq’ ne ya paai taleem

Ain-e-imaan hai fida-e-rukh-e-janaan hona....!!!!

 

~ Hazrat ‘Wamiq’ Jaunpuri Sahab

jab aankh khuli to kuch na dekha hum ne - Khwaja 'Mir' Dard

Beenai na thi to dekhte the sab kuch

jab aankh khuli to kuch na dekha hum ne

After enlightenment we found the world is illusionary 

Naqsh-e-soorat ko mita - Khwaja Haider Ali Aatish

Naqsh-e-soorat ko mita, aashna maani ka ho

Qatra bhi dariya hai jo dariya mein shamil ho gaya....

Forget the features and appearances, seek the meaning instead

A drop that merges in the river, is a river itself

Ya mujhe afsar-e-shahaana banaaya hota - Hazrat Bahadur Shah ‘Zafar’

Ya mujhe afsar-e-shahaana banaaya hota

Ya mera taaj gadayana banaaya hota

Apna deewana banaya mujhe hota tu ne

Kyun khirad mand banaaya, na banaaya hota

Khaksaari ke liye gar che banaaya tha mujhe

Kaash !!! sang-e-dar-e-janaana banaay hota

Nash’aa-e-ishq ka gar zarf diya tha mujh ko

Umr ka tang na paimaana banaaya hota

Dil-e-sad chaak banaaya, to balaa se, lekin

Zulf-e-mushkeen ka teri shaana banaaya hota

Soofiyon ke jo na tha laayaq-e-sohbat to mujhe

Qaabil-e-jalsa-e-rindaana banaay hota

Tha jalaana hi agar doori-e-saaqi se mujhe

To charaagh-e-dar-e-janaana banaaya hota

Roz maamoora-e-duniyaa mein kharaabi hai ‘Zafar’

Aisi basti se to weerana banaaya hota

~ Hazrat Bahadur Shah ‘Zafar’

Dil hai mera maqaam-e-gham - Akhtar Sheerani

Dil hai mera maqaam-e-gham, gham ka maqaam hai yahaan

Naa’la-e-subah hai yahaan, giriyaa-e-shaam hai yahaan

Ek tasawwur-e-haseen khilwat-e-dil mein hai makeen

Deeda-e-shauq ke liye deed haraam hai yahaan

Nikhat-e-noor-o-naar udhar, zulmat-o-soz-o-saaz idhar

Subah hi subah hai wahaan, shaam hi shaam hai yahaan

Sahan-e-chaman mein har jagah nash’sha sa failne lagaa

Aaj yah kaun mahalaqaa mast-e-khiraam hai yahaan

Mera alam’kada nahin rang-e-tarab se aashna 

fasl-e-khijaan ho ya bahaar, maatam-e-aam hai yahaan

Unke liye suroor-e-naaz, mere liye gham-o-gudaaz 

Gardish-e-chashm hai wahaan, gardish-e-jaam hai yahaan

~ Akhtar Sheerani

Kafir-e-ishq hoon main banda-e-islam nahin - Hazrat Qibla Shah Niyaz Beniyaz R.A.

Kafir-e-ishq hoon main banda-e-islam nahin

But parasti ke siwa aur mujhe kaam nahin

Ishq mein poojta hoon qibla-o- kaaba apna

Ek pal dil ko mere uske bin aaraam nahin

Bulhawas paanw na rakhiyo kabhi is raah ke beech

Koocha-e-ishq hai ye raguzar-e-aam nahin

Haye re haye chali jaati hai yun fasl-e-bahaar

Kya karoon bas nahin apna wo sanam ram nahin

Aar kya hai tujhe duniya ki malaamat se ‘Niyaz’

Aashiqon mein tuu akelaa hi to badnaam nahin 

~ Hazrat Qibla Shah Niyaz Beniyaz R.A.

Mohabbat karne wale gham se ghabraaya nahin kerte !!!!

M’aaz-Allah tasawwur mein bhi wo aaya nahin karte 
Dil-e-mahzoon ko sham-e-gham bhi samjhaaya nahin karte

Guzishta waardat-e-ishq duhraaya nahin kerte 

Shikaayat kya labon tak aah bhi laaya nahin karte 

Mohabbat karne wale gham se ghabraaya nahin kerte.....

Ye behr-e-kaif-o-masti hai yahan be-wasta bahna
Ye duniya-e-muhabbat hai yahan ka hashr kya kahna

Ye hoshiyaron ki mahfil hai yahan kuch soch ker kahna

Ye bazm-e-saghar-o-meena hai waaiz hosh mein rehna 

Yahan be-kaif afsaanon ko dohraaya nahin karte.....

Jinhein gham ki fazaaein bakhsh dein irfaan-e-sermasti 

Jinhein unki adaaein bakhsh dein irfaan-e-sarmasti

Jinhein paiham jafaein bakhsh dein irfaan-e sar-masti

Jinhein unki nighahein bakhsh dein irfan-e sar-masti

Wo deewane fareb-e-hosh mein ayaa nahin kerte.....

Terey qadmon pe sar rakhna meri daireena fitrat hai

Yahi meri aqedat hai yahi meri mohabbat hai

Dil-e-dard-aashna ulfat mein ye takmeel-e-ulfat hai

Haram ho dair ho kuchh bhi ho lekin ye haqeeqat hai 

Khuloos-e-dil ke sajde raayegaan jaaya nahin kerte.....

Raah-e-ulfat mein hota hai taqaaza ab ye khilwat ka

Aur gumaan hone laga soorat pe apni, unki soorat ka 

Azeez-e-Waarsi ye sheir hai pukhta aqeedat ka 

‘Asad’ mauqa miley to kya miley arz-e-mohabbat ka

Hum un ko paa ke apne aap ko payaa nahin kerte.....

Tumhare dar pe sada kham sar-e-niyaz rahe......

Tumhare dar pe sada kham sar-e-niyaz rahe

Namaz-e-ishq ka ye silsila daraaz rahe

Sar-e-niyaz ka kya hai raha, raha na raha

Khuda kare ke tera aastaan-e-naaz rahe

Wo sar hi kya ke na ho jis pe ishq ka sauda

Wo dil hi kya ke ulfat se beniyaaz rahe

Maza isi mein hai aashiq ko zindagaani ka

Kisi ki yaad rahe aur aah jaan gudaaz rahe

Fareb-e-husn ke parde jo darmiyaan se uthe

Niyaz-o-naaz mein kuchh bhi na imtiyaaz rahe

Yahi hai haasil-e-ulfat, yahi hai maa’na-e-ishq

Niyazmand rahoon main, wo beniyaaz rahe !!!!!!

Paas aatey hain merey aur na bulatey hain mujhe - Hazrat Kamil Hyderabadi

Paas aatey hain merey aur na bulatey hain mujhe

Ye bhi kya kam hai ke wo yaad to aatey hain mujhe

Daayam abaad rahey yun hi bhari bazm unki

Ban ke khud shamm’aa jo parwaana banaatey hain mujhe

Sadqa husn-e-nazar hai meri masti saari

Unke qurbaan jo aankhon se pilaatey hain mujhe

Meri kya bood hai sab unka wajood unka namood

Kaise nadaan hain jo saamney laatey hain mujhe

Jaante hain ke nahin unke siwa koi meraa

Kuchh samajh kar ke hi daaman mein chhupaatey hain mujhe

Kahiye kis khusrawe khooban ki aamad ‘Kamil’

Roonumaai mein do aalam nazar aatey hain mujhe

~ Hazrat ‘Kamil’ Hyderabadi

Apna to nahin yaar main kuchh, yaar hoon tera - Khwaja Mir 'Dard'

Apna to nahin yaar main kuchh, yaar hoon tera

Tu jis ki taraf howey, tarafdaar hoon tera

Kurhne pe mere jee na kurha, teri balaa se

Apna to nahin gham mujhe, ghamkhwaar hoon tera

Tu chaahe na chaahe mujhe kuchh kaam nahin hai

Azaad hoon is se bhi, giraftaar hoon tera

Tu howey jahaan, mujh ko bhi hona waheen laazim

Tu gul hai meri jaan to, main khaar hoon tera

Hai ishq se mere hi tere husn ka shahra

Main kuchh nahin par, garmi-e-bazaar hoon tera

Meri bhi taraf tu kabhi aa jaa mere Yusuf

Burhiya ki tarah main bhi khareedar hoon tera

Aye ‘Dard’ mujhe kuchh naheen ab aur to azaar

Us chasm se kah dena ki bimaar hoon tera

~ Hazrat Khwaja Mir ‘Dard’

Main khud ko dhoondhta hoon - Hazrat Syed Ghaosi Shah R.A.

Main khud ko dhoondhta hoon, Wo haath aa rahe hain

Ab meri shaql se wo, jalwe dikha rahe hain

Main wo nahin hoon hargiz, wo main nahin hain lekin

Wo mujh ko munh kar ke, khud ko bataa rahey hain

Main unka aaina hoon, wo mera aaina hain

Main unhein dikhaa rahaa hoon, wo mujhe dikhaa rahey hain

Main, main nahin rahaa ab, ab wo hi main baney hain

Har aan ab wo mujh mein, main ban ke aa rahey hain

Aye waa-e-Hazrat-e-ishq achchhe hain ye karishmein

Arey jitna mujhe bigaada, utna banaa rahey hain

Mai mein kahaan thi masti, itni ke mujh ko khoti

In aakhon ke main sadqe, bekhud banaa rahey hain

Taalib se lan-taraani aakhir chali na unki

Kah kar wal-aakhir-unzur parde utha rahey hain

Main kya bataaun ‘Ghausi’ main kaisa mit gayaa hoon

Khud ko tatolta hoon, wo haath aa rahey hain

~ Az Hazrat Syed Ghousi Shah R.A.,Hyderabad
