Tabish Dehlvi

hoti hi nahin sub.h-e-qayamat bhi numudar
jagenge shab-e-hijr ke bimar kahan tak

a.ina jab bhi ru-ba-ru aaya
apna chehra chhupa liya ham ne

zarre men gum hazar sahra
qatre men muhit laakh qulzum

shahon ki bandagi men sar bhi nahin jhukaya
tere liye sarapa adab ho ga.e ham

chhoTi paDti hai ana ki chadar
paanv Dhakta huun to sar khulta hai

har raste se manzil-e-hasti hai bahut duur
ja.ega mire saath gham-e-yar kahan tak

abhi hain qurb ke kuchh aur marhale baaqi
ki tujh ko paa ke hamein phir tiri tamannaa hai

shaahon ki bandagi mein sar bhi nahin jhukaayaa
tere liye saraapaa aadaab ho gae ham

har raaste se manzil-e-hasti hai bahut duur
jaaegaa mire saath gham-e-yaar kahaan tak

zarre mein gum hazaar sahraa
qatre mein muhit laakh qulzum

hoti hi nahin subh-e-qayaamat bhi numudaar
jaageinge shab-e-hijr ke bimaar kahaan tak

chhoTi paDti hai anaa ki chaadar
paanv Dhaktaa huun to sar khultaa hai
