شوق نے ہم کلام کر ہی دیا

ان سے بے گفتگو کئے نہ بنی

shauq ne ham-kalam kar hi diya

un se be-guftugu kiye na bani

جب رکا خون بن گئی دم پر

چاک دل کو رفو کئے نہ بنی

jab ruka khun ban gai dam par

chak-e-dil ko rafu kiye na bani

ذلت عشق ہے وہاں عزت

شکوۂ آبرو کئے نہ بنی

zillat-e-ishq hai vahan izzat

shikva-e-abru kiye na bani

قتل ٹھہرا جو شیوۂ معشوق

ہمیں دل کو لہو کئے نہ بنی

qatl Thahra jo shewa-e-mashuq

hamein dil ko lahu kiye na bani

اس کی تصویر سے بھی تھا یہ خوف

داغؔ کو گفتگو کئے نہ بنی

us ki tasvir se bhi tha ye khauf

Dagh ko guftugu kiye na bani

About this ghazal

A short-metre ghazal on the radif "kiye na bani" (could not help doing): the lover could neither stop longing nor stop searching, longing made him speak to the beloved, and he was too afraid even to talk to their portrait. 1 couplet of the original is not included here.
