انجمن تمام ۔ حسرت موہانی
روشن جمالِ یار سے ہے انجمن تمام
دہکا ہوا ہے آتشِ گل سے چمن تمام
حیرت غرورِ حسن سے شوخی سے اِضطراب
دل نے بھی تیرے سیکھ لئے ہیں چلن تمام
اللہ ری جسم یار کی خوبی کہ خودبخود
رنگینیوں میں ڈوب گیا پیرہن تمام
دل خون ہو چکا ہے جگر ہو چکا ہے خاک
باقی ہوں میں مجھے بھی کر اے تیغ زن تمام
دیکھو تو چشم یار کی جادو نگاہیاں
بے ہوش اک نظر میں ہوئی انجمن تمام
ہے نازِ حُسن سے جو فروزاں جبینِ یار
لبریز آبِ نور ہے چاہِ ذقن تمام
نشو نمائے سبزہ و گل سے بہار میں
شادابیوں نے گھیر لیا ہے چمن تمام
اُس نازنیں نے جب سے کیا ہے وہاں قیام
گلزار بن گئی ہے زمینِ دکن تمام
اچھا ہے اہل جور کئے جائیں سختیاں
پھیلے گی یوں ہی شورشِ حُبِّ وطن تمام
سمجھے ہیں اہل شرق کو شاید قریبِ مرگ
مغرب کے یوں ہیں جمع یہ زاغ و زغن تمام
شیرینئ نسیم ہے سوز و گداز میرؔ
حسرتؔ ترے سخن پہ ہے لطف سخن تمام
अंजुमन तमाम – हस्रत मोहानी
रौशन जमाल-ए यार से है अंजुमन तमाम
दहका हुआ है आतिश-ए गुल से चमन तमाम
हैरत ग़ुरूर-ए हुस्न से शूख़ी से इज़्तेराब
दिल ने भी तेरे सीख लिए हैं चलन तमाम
अल्लाह-री जिस्म-ए यार की ख़ूबी के ख़ुद-ब-ख़ुद
रंगीनियों में डूब गया पैरहन तमाम
दिल ख़ून हो चुका है जिगर हो चुका है ख़ाक
बाक़ी हूँ मैं मुझे भी कर ऐ तेग़-ज़न तमाम
देखो तो चश्म-ए यार की जादू-निगाहियाँ
बेहोश एक नज़र में हुई अंजुमन तमाम
है नाज़-ए हुस्न से जो फ़रोज़ाँ जबीन-ए यार
लबरेज़ आब-ए नूर है चाह-ए ज़क़न तमाम
नशो-नुमा-ए सब्ज़ा-ओ-गुल से बहार में
शादाबियों ने घेर लिया है चमन तमाम
उस नाज़नीं ने जब से किया है वहाँ क़्याम
गुलज़ार बन गई है ज़मीन-ए दकन तमाम
अच्छा है अहल-ए जौर किए जाएँ सख़्तियाँ
फैलेगी यूँ ही शोरिश-ए हुब्ब-ए वतन तमाम
समझे हैं अहल-ए शर्क़ को शायद क़रीब-ए मर्ग
मग़रिब के यूँ हैं जमा ये ज़ाग़ ओ ज़ग़न तमाम
शीरीनी-ए नसीम है सोज़-ओ-गुदाज़-ए मीर
हसरत तेरे सुख़न पे है लुत्फ़-ए-सुख़न तमाम

raushan1 jamaal2-e yaar3 se hai anjuman4 tamaam
dahka5 hua hai aatish6-e gul7 se chaman tamaam 1.brilliant, shining 2.face, beauty 3.beloved 4.gathering 5.burning, blazing 6.flame/redness 7.rose
In the sufi tradition this is praise of god (frequently referred to as the beloved/yaar) hidden in layers of praise of the beloved. This could well be praising the beauty of spring attributed to the beauty of nature/god. Thus, the garden is ablaze with the redness of the rose. The beauty of the beloved (god) is reflected on the gathering and makes it shine brilliantly.

The beauty/colour of the body of the beloved is such that it filters through whatever robe she is wearing making it look like it is soaked in colour/beauty. It is not too much of a stretch to think of the beloved as god/nature and its beauty filters through (can be seen by those who have the subtle ability to see) whatever dress/manifestation it puts on e.g. the beauty of nature reflected in the garden in spring.

hasrat mohani is referring to some young woman who has taken up residence (or resides) in the deccan. Because of her the land of the deccan has been turned into a garden. I am not at all sure of this but this is a likely speculation (with ABSOLUTELY NO suggestion of a romance) … sarojini naidu (1879-1949) and hasrat mohani (1875-1951) were active and worked side by side in the independence movement. She was also a poet and lived in hyderabad (her parents moved to hyderabad from bengal). “Turning into a garden” could be a garden of verse.
