Ameen Tirmizi

tamam shahr gale lag gaya to kya hasil
vo ham ko munh jo laga.e to eid ho jaa.e

sar-ba-kaf khud hi main maqtal men chala aaya huun
log kahte hain ki vo shokh hai shamshir-ba-kaf

tarkash-o-dam ki hajat hi nahin hai tum ko
tum ho sayyad to khud said hai fitrak-ba-kaf

jab tira qamat-e-sho.ala-numa pahuncha sar-e-bazm
saare hi shaikh khaDe ho ga.e iman-ba-kaf

zhala-bari se khauf aata hai
un ki aamad kahin na Tal jaa.e

tum se kaha tha baam pe mat jaana aaj shaam
dekha naan saare shahr ki to eid ho ga.i

main ye aankhein bhi tiri nazr to kar duun lekin
teri tasvir inhein dekhti rahti hai bahut

tamaam shahr gale lag gayaa to kyaa haasil
vo ham ko munh jo lagaae to eid ho jaae

zhaala-baari se khauf aataa hai
un ki aamad kahin na Tal jaae

tum se kahaa thaa baam pe mat jaanaa aaj shaam
dekhaa naan saare shahr ki to eid ho gai

main jab jab bhi kisi kaaghaz pe teraa naam likhtaa huun
chamak tahrir se aur mahak kaaghaz se aati hai

sar-ba-kaf khud hi main maqtal mein chalaa aaya huun
log kahte hain ki vo shokh hai shamshir-ba-kaf
