himmat-e-tark-e-vafaa Duub gai — Abdul Mannan Tarzi

dard kaa silsila hai jahaan tak
dil ki jaagir hogi vahaan tak

teri yaadon ke lamhe bhi bedard the
tujh ko mujh se churaate rahe raat-bhar

is kashmakash mein teri gali se pare rahe
aae kahaan pe harf kahaan par na aae harf

naam-levaa tumhaaraa hai 'tarzi'
aadmi ki tarah milo pyaare

ik qayaamat hai aap kaa vaada
chaliye ye bhi azaab ho jaae

kyaa yahaan dekhiye kyaa vahaan dekhiye
aap hi aap hain ab jahaan dekhiye

maut ke baa'd ziist ki bahs mein mubtalaa the log
ham to 'sahar' guzar gae tohmat-e-zindagi uThaae

ghurur-e-husn na kar jazba-e-zulekhaa dekh
kiyaa hai ishq ne yusuf ghulaam aashiq kaa

tu mohabbat se koi chaal to chal
haar jaane kaa hausla hai mujhe

nisyah-o-naqd-e-do-aalam ki haqiqat maalum
le liyaa mujh se miri himmat-e-aali ne mujhe

khush hote hain ham log agar koi hasina
is umr ham par koi tohmat hi lagaae

hamaari baat kaaTi jaa rahi hai
kisi kaa hausla baDhtaa rahaa hai
