kya karuN-hasrat mohani

singing mehdi hasan

کیا کروں ۔ حسرت موہانی

 

کیسے چھپاؤں رازِ غم دیدۂ تر کو کیا کروں

دل کی تپش کو کیا کروں سوزِ جگر کو کیا کروں

 

شورِش عاشقی کہاں اور میری سادگی کہاں

حسن کو تیرے کیا کہوں اپنی نظر کو کیا کروں

 

غم کا نہ دل میں ہو گزر وصل کی شب ہو یوں بسر

سب یہ قبول ہے مگر خوف سحر کو کیا کروں

 

حال میرا تھا جب بتر تب نہ ہوئی تمہیں خبر

بعد میرے ہوا اثر اب میں اثر کو کیا کروں

क्या करूँ – हस्रत मोहानी

 

कैसे छुपाऊँ राज़-ए-ग़म दीदा-ए-तर को क्या करूँ

दिल की तपिश को क्या करूँ सोज़-ए-जिगर को क्या करूँ

 

शोरिश-ए-आशेक़ी कहाँ और मेरी सादगी कहाँ

हुस्न को तेरे क्या कहूँ अपनी नज़र को क्या करूँ

 

ग़म का न दिल में हो गुज़र वस्ल की शब हो यूँ बसर

सब ये क़ुबूल है मगर ख़ौफ़-ए-सहर को क्या करूँ

 

हाल मेरा था जब बतर तब न हुई तुम्हें ख़बर

बाद मेरे हुआ असर अब मैं असर को क्या करूँ

kya karuN-hasrat mohani
