Recitation

عشق  کے  نشیب  و  فراز  ۔  سادھورام  آرزوؔ  سہارنپوری

۱

پیکرِ  زندگیِ  سوز  و  گداز

میں  ہوں  تفسیرِ  دردِ  بے  آواز

۲

کھل  رہے  ہیں  حیات  و  مرگ  کے  راز

اے  غمِ  دوست  تیری  عمر  دراز

۳

بیچ  میں  ہو  اگر  نہ  پردۂ  راز

نہ  حقیقت  ہے  کوئی  اور  نہ  مجاز

۴

نقشِ  ہستی  پہ  تبصرہ  کیسا

زندگی  راز  اور  موت  بھی  راز

۵

عشق  کا  کاروبار،  ارے  توبہ

پہلے  انجام  بعد  ہے  آغاز

۶

حشر  میں  بھی  نہ  جو  کھلیں  شاید

ایسے  بھی  کچھ  ہیں  وارداتِ  راز

۷

کوئی  آساں  نہیں  ہے  طے  کرنا

جادۂ  عشق  کے  نشیب  و  فراز

इश्क़ के नशीब ओ फ़राज़ – साधु राम आर्ज़ू सहारनपूरी

१

पैकर-ए ज़िंदगी-ए सोज़ ओ गदाज़

मैं हूँ तफ़्सीर-ए दर्द-ए बे-आवाज़

२

खुल रहे हैं हयात ओ मौत के राज़

अए ग़म-ए दोस्त तेरी उम्र दराज़

३

बीच में हो अगर न पर्दा-ए राज़

न हक़ीक़त है कोई और न मजाज़

४

नक़्श-ए हस्ती पे तब्सरा कैसा

ज़िंदगी राज़ और मौत भी राज़

५

इश्क़ का कारोबार, अरे तौबा

पहले अंजाम बाद है आग़ाज़

६

हश्र में भी न जो खुलें शायद

ऐसे भी कुछ हैं वारेदात-ए राज़

७

कोई आसां नहीं है तय करना

जादा-ए इश्क़ के नशेब ओ फ़राज़
