Izhaar

mujhe ab tum se dar lagne laga hai tumhein mujh se mohabbat ho gai kya

ye kahna tha un se mohabbat hai mujh ko ye kahne mein mujh ko zamane lage hain

ishq ke izhaar mein har-chand ruswai to hai par karun kya ab tabiat aap par aai to hai

haal-e-dil kyun kar karen apna bayan achchhi tarah ru-ba-ru un ke nahin chalti zaban achchhi tarah the couplet expresses the helplessness of a lover who wants to confess inner feelings but cannot. “state of the heart” stands for deep emotion, and the “tongue not working” is a metaphor for speech failing under the beloved’s presence. the emotional core is shyness mixed with longing: feelings are clear inside, yet words collapse at the moment of encounter.

ek din kah lijiye jo kuchh hai dil mein aap ke ek din sun lijiye jo kuchh hamare dil mein hai

mujh se nafrat hai agar us ko to izhaar kare kab main kahta hun mujhe pyar hi karta jae

tujh se kis tarah main izhaar-e-tamanna karta lafz sujha to maani ne baghawat kar di

sab kuchh hum un se kah gae lekin ye ittifaq kahne ki thi jo baat wahi dil mein rah gai

aur is se pahle ki sabit ho jurm-e-khamoshi hum apni rae ka izhaar karna chahte hain

zaban khamosh magar nazron mein ujala dekha us ka izhaar-e-mohabbat bhi nirala dekha

dil pe kuchh aur guzarti hai magar kya kije lafz kuchh aur hi izhaar kiye jate hain

main ne puchha tha ki izhaar nahin ho sakta dil pukara ki khabar-dar nahin ho sakta

izhaar-e-ishq us se na karna tha 'shefta' ye kya kiya ki dost ko dushman bana diya

izhaar pe bhaari hai khamoshi ka takallum harfon ki zaban aur hai aankhon ki zaban aur

kije izhaar-e-mohabbat chahe jo anjam ho zindagi mein zindagi jaisa koi to kaam ho

zaban dil ki haqiqat ko kya bayan karti kisi ka haal kisi se kaha nahin jata

ishq hai to ishq ka izhaar hona chahiye aap ko chehre se bhi bimar hona chahiye

koi mila hi nahin jis se haal-e-dil kahte mila to rah gae lafzon ke intikhab mein hum

haal-e-dil sunte nahin ye kah ke khush kar dete hain phir kabhi fursat mein sun lenge kahani aap ki

kis se izhaar-e-muddaa kije aap milte nahin hain kya kije

haal-e-dil yar ko mahfil mein sunaen kyun-kar muddai kan idhar aur udhar rakhte hain

dil sabhi kuchh zaban par laya ek faqat arz-e-muddaa ke siwa

izhaar-e-haal ka bhi zariya nahin raha dil itna jal gaya hai ki aankhon mein nam nahin

muskurae wo haal-e-dil sun kar aur goya jawab tha hi nahin

tu ne jis baat ko izhaar-e-mohabbat samjha baat karne ko bas ek baat rakhi thi hum ne

achchhi-khasi dosti thi yar hum donon ke bich ek din phir us ne izhaar-e-mohabbat kar diya

pursish-e-haal bhi itni ki main kuchh kah na sakun is takalluf se karam ho to sitam hota hai

kya bala thi ada-e-pursish-e-yar mujh se izhaar-e-muddaa na hua

apni sari kawishon ko raegan main ne kiya mere andar jo na tha us ko bayan main ne kiya

kya mila arz-e-muddaa se 'figar' baat kahne se aur baat gai
