Recitation
جذبۂ کامل میں ہے ۔ میر عثمانؔ علی خاں
۱
تم وہاں ہو اور یہاں صورت تمہاری دل میں ہے
دیکھو کیا تاثیر میرے جذبۂ کامل میں ہے
۲
آ کے او قاتل تڑپنے کا تماشا دیکھ لے
جان تھوڑی سی ابھی باقی ترے بسمل میں ہے
۳
اپنے آئینے پہ تم کو ناز بیجا کچھ نہیں
پر صفائی وہ کہاں جو عاشقوں کے دل میں ہے
۴
ہے یہ کافی خونِ ناحق کی صداقت کے لئے
جا بجا دھبّہ لہو کا دامنِ قاتل میں ہے
۵
وصلِ جاناں کی ہوس دل سے نہ نکلی آج تک
کاش بر آئے تمنّا یہ جو اپنے دل میں ہے
۶
پھر ہوائے دشت لیتی ہے جگر میں چٹکیاں
جوشِ وحشت رنگ کچھ لائے ہوئے پھر دل میں ہے
۷
کثرتِ عصیاں سے اے عثماںؔ نہیں کچھ غم مجھے
شافعِ روزِ قیامت کا بھروسہ دل میں ہے
जज़्बा-ए कामिल में है – मीर उस्मान अली ख़ां
१
तुम वहां हो और यहां सूरत तुमहारी दिल में है
देखो क्या तासीर मेरे जज़्बा-ए कामिल में है
२
आके ओ क़ातिल तढपने का तमाशा देख ले
जान थोढी सी अभी बाक़ी तेरे बिस्मिल में है
३
अपने आईने पे तुम को नाज़ बेजा कुछ नहीं
पर सफ़ाई वो कहां जो आशेक़ौं के दिल में है
४
ये है काफ़ी ख़ून-ए नाहक़ की सदाक़त के लिये
जा-ब-जा धब्बा लहू का दामन-ए क़ातिल में है
५
वस्ल-ए जानां की हवस दिल से न निकली आज तक
काश बर आए तमन्ना ये जो अपने दिल में है
६
फिर हवा-ए दश्त लेती है जिगर में चुटकियां
जोश-ए वहशत रंग कुछ लाए हुए फिर दिल में है
७
कस्रत-ए इस्यां से अए उस्मां नहीं कुछ ग़म मुझे
शाफ़’ए राज़-ए क़यामत का भरोसा दिल में है
