dil abhi puuri tarah TuuTaa nahin — Abdul Hamid Adam

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

taklif miT gai magar ehsaas rah gayaa
khush huun ki kuchh na kuchh to mire paas rah gayaa

sirf ik qadam uThaa thaa ghalat raah-e-shauq mein
manzil tamaam umr mujhe DhunDhti rahi

kahte hain umr-e-rafta kabhi lauTti nahin
jaa mai-kade se meri javaani uThaa ke laa

jin se insaan ko pahunchti hai hamesha taklif
un kaa daavaa hai ki vo asl khudaa vaale hain

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

yak qadam raah-e-dost hai 'daaud'
lekin afsos paa-e-bakht hai lang

ghussa aataa hai pyaar aataa hai
ghair ke ghar se yaar aataa hai

log logon se dosti kar ke
kitnaa saste mein bech dete hain

dil ke aaine mein hai tasvir-e-yaar
jab zaraa gardan jhukaai dekh li

guzre jo apne yaaron ki sohbat mein chaar din
aisaa lagaa basar hue jannat mein chaar din
