namaaz apni agarche kabhi qazaa na hui — Abdul Rahman Ehsan Dehlvi

gale se lagte hi jitne gile the bhuul gae
vagarna yaad thiin ham ko shikaayatein kyaa kyaa

dil-rubaa tujh saa jo dil lene mein ayyaari kare
phir koi dilli mein kyaa dil ki khabardaari kare

aag is dil-lagi ko lag jaae
dil-lagi aag phir lagaane lagi

ba-vaqt-e-bosa-e-lab kaash ye dil kaamraan hotaa
zabaan us bad-zabaan ki munh mein aur main zabaan hotaa

tankhvaah ek bosa hai tis par ye hujjatein
hai naa-dahind aap ki sarkaar be-tarah

mai-kade mein ishq ke kuchh sarsari jaanaa nahin
kaasa-e-sar ko yahaan gardish hai paimaane ki tarah

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
