haath donon miri gardan mein hamaail kiije — Aagha Akbarabadi

barq o simaab kaa 'aaghaa' na rahe naam-o-nishaan
dil ki betaabi se ik baar jo muztar main huun

tavaaf-e-kaaba ko kyaa jaaein haj nahin vaajib
kalaal-khaane ke kuchh din-daar ham bhi hain

sharaab piite hain to jaagte hain saari raat
mudaam aabid-e-shab-zinda-daar ham bhi hain

do-shaala shaal kashmiri amiron ko mubaarak ho
galim-e-kohna mein jaaDaa faqiron kaa basar hogaa

vaada-e-baada-e-athar kaa bharosa kab tak
chal ke bhaTTi pe piyein jura-e-irfaan kaisaa

hamein to un ki mohabbat hai koi kuchh samjhe
hamaare saath mohabbat unhein nahin to nahin

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
