Wasif Dehlvi

"bujhte hue charagh farozan karenge ham tum aaoge to jashn-e-charaghan karenge ham"

"didar se pahle hi kya haal hua dil ka kya hoga jo ulTenge vo rukh se naqab akhir"

"kitni ghaTa.en aa.iin baras kar guzar ga.iin shola hamare dil ka bujhaya na ja saka"

"daman ke daagh ashk-e-nadamat ne dho diye lekin ye dil ka daagh miTaya na ja saka"

"aaj rukhsat ho gaya duniya se ik bimar-e-gham dard aisa dil men uTTha jaan le kar hi gaya"

"vafur-e-be-khudi men rakh diya sar un ke qadmon par vo kahte hi rahe 'vasif' ye mahfil hai ye mahfil hai"

bujhte hue charaagh farozaan kareinge ham
tum aaoge to jashn-e-charaaghaan kareinge ham

didaar se pahle hi kyaa haal huaa dil kaa
kyaa hogaa jo ulTeinge vo rukh se naqaab aakhir

kitni ghaTaaein aaiin baras kar guzar gaiin
shola hamaare dil kaa bujhaayaa na jaa sakaa

daaman ke daagh ashk-e-nadaamat ne dho diye
lekin ye dil kaa daagh miTaayaa na jaa sakaa

aaj rukhsat ho gayaa duniyaa se ik bimaar-e-gham
dard aisaa dil mein uTThaa jaan le kar hi gayaa

qismat ki tirgi ki kahaani na puchhiye
subh-e-vatan bhi shaam-e-gharibaan hai aaj kal
