muskuraahaT hai husn kaa zevar — Abdul Hamid Adam

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

ijaazat ho to main tasdiq kar luun teri zulfon se
sunaa hai zindagi ik khub-surat daam hai saaqi

savaal kar ke main khud hi bahut pashemaan huun
javaab de ke mujhe aur sharmsaar na kar

marne vaale to khair hain bebas
jiine vaale kamaal karte hain

mai-kada hai yahaan sukun se baiTh
koi aafat idhar nahin aati

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

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

dekhe jo qais husn to lailaa ko bhuul jaae
ham kyaa hain rish-e-hazrat-maulaanaa jhuul jaae

na jaanaa ki duniyaa se jaataa hai koi
bahut der ki mehrbaan aate aate

kam-zarf mezbaan ki daa'vat nahin qubul
thoDi bahut pilaa ke jataanaa hai baar baar

kis kaam ki aisi sachchaai jo toD de ummidein dil ki
thoDi si tasalli ho to gai maanaa ki vo bol ke jhuuT gayaa
