tumhaari dekh kar ye khush-khiraami aab-raftaari — Abroo Shah Mubarak

jaltaa hai ab talak tiri zulfon ke rashk se
har-chand ho gayaa hai chaman kaa charaagh gul

gham siin ahl-e-bait ke ji to tiraa kuDhtaa nahin
yuun abas paDhtaa phiraa jo marsiya to kyaa huaa

kyaa sabab tere badan ke garm hone kaa sajan
aashiqon mein kaun jaltaa thaa gale kis ke lagaa

yuun 'aabru' banaave dil mein hazaar baatein
jab ru-ba-ru ho tere guftaar bhuul jaave

namkin goyaa kabaab hain phike sharaab ke
bosaa hai tujh labaan kaa maze-daar chaTpaTaa

afsos hai ki bakht hamaaraa ulaT gayaa
aataa to thaa pe dekh ke ham kuun palaT gayaa

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

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

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

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
