دل کو لے کر ہم سے اب جاں بھی طلب کرتے ہیں آپ Dil ko le kar hum se ab jaan bhi talab karte hain aap

About this ghazal

A ghazal on the refrain "karte hain aap" (you do). Having taken the heart, the beloved now wants the poet's life as well. Here it is, he says, but this is too much. He asks what crime earned such cruelty, compares himself to Qais and Laila's secret dealings, and says the torn heart aches whenever the beloved combs those fragrant curls. 3 couplets of the original are not included here.
