گُلابی گُلابی ۔ بہزاد لکھنوی
۱
اُن آنکھؤں کا عالَم گُلابی گُلابی
میرے دِل کا عالَم شرابی شرابی
۲
نِگاہؤں نے دیکھی محبّت نے مانی
تیری بے مِثالی تیری لا جوابی
۳
یہ دُزدیدہ نظریں یہ رفتار نازک
اِنہیں کی بدولت ہوئی ہے خرابی
۴
خدا کے لئے اپنی نظروں کو روکو
تمنّا بنی جا رہی ہے جوابی
۵
ہے بہزاد اُن کی نِگاہِ کرم پر
میری نامرادی میری کامیابی
गुलाबी गुलाबी – बहज़ाद लखनवी
१
उन आंखौं का आलम गुलाबी गुलाबी
मेरे दिल का आलम शराबी शराबी
२
निगाहौं ने देखी मोहब्बत ने मानी
तेरी बेमिसाली तेरी लाजवाबी
३
ये दुज़्दीदा नज़्रें ये रफ़्तार नाज़ुक
इन्हीं कि बदौलत हुई है ख़राबी
४
ख़ुदा के लिए अपनी नज़्रौं को रोको
तमन्ना बनी जा रही है जवाबी
५
है बहज़ाद उन कि निगाह-ए करम पर
मेरी नामुरादी मेरी कामियाबी
