mohabbat ke liye kuch khaas dil makhsoos hote hain, ye woh naghma hai jo har saaz pe gaya nahi jata

Makhmoor  Dehlvi (1901-1956)

Prominent Delhi poet known for his shayari

  मोहब्बत के लिए कुछ ख़ास दिल मख़सूस होते हैं 

  ये वो नग़मा है  जो हर साज़ पे गाया नहीं जाता 

किसे अपना बनाएँ कोई इस क़ाबिल नहीं मिलता

यहाँ पत्थर बहुत मिलते हैं लेकिन दिल नहीं मिलता

  मोहब्बत हो तो जाती है - मोहब्बत की नहीं जाती 

 ये शोला ख़ुद भड़क उठता है- भड़काया नहीं जाता 

मुसाफ़िर अपनी मंज़िल पर पहुँच कर चैन पाते हैं

वो मौजें सर पटकती हैं जिन्हें साहिल नहीं मिलता

जिन्हें अब गर्दिश-ए-अफ़्लाक पैदा कर नहीं सकती

कुछ ऐसी हस्तियाँ भी दफ़्न हैं गोर-ए-ग़रीबाँ में

चमन तुम से इबारत है बहारें तुम से ज़िंदा हैं

तुम्हारे सामने फूलों से मुरझाया नहीं जाता

हर इक दाग़-ए-तमन्ना को कलेजे से लगाता हूँ

कि घर आई हुई दौलत को ठुकराया नहीं जाता

तुम्हारे नाम से मंसूब हो जाते हैं दीवाने

ये अपने होश में होते तो पहचाने कहाँ जाते

  मोहब्बत असल में 'मख़मूर' वो राज़े हक़ीक़त है 

  समझ में आ गया है और समझाया नहीं जाता 

There are certain hearts dedicated to love

This is a song that is not sung on every instrument

Make it your own, no one deserves it

There are many stones here but no heart

If there is love, it is gone, but not love

This flame ignites itself and is not ignited

Passengers reach their destination and find peace

The waves that do not reach the shore hit the head

Which can no longer be created by the rotation of the heavens

Some such personalities are also buried in the abyss

The grass is for you, the springs are alive for you

Flowers do not wither in front of you

I apply every stain of desire to the heart

Wealth that comes home is not rejected

Crazy people are named after you

If they were conscious, where would they be recognized?

Love is actually the secret of reality Makhmoor

Understood but still not explained

Makhsoos               ......   special, selected, reserved, designated etc.

Gardish-e-aflaak   .......   rotation of the heavens

Naghma                .......    song
