'sahar' ab hogaa meraa zikr bhi raushan-dimaaghon mein — Abu Mohammad Sahar

takmil-e-aarzu se bhi hotaa hai gham kabhi
aisi duaa na maang jise bad-duaa kahein

hindu se puchhiye na musalmaan se puchhiye
insaaniyat kaa gham kisi insaan se puchhiye

ishq ke mazmun the jin mein vo risaale kyaa hue
ai kitaab-e-zindagi tere havaale kyaa hue

hamein tanhaaiyon mein yuun to kyaa kyaa yaad aataa hai
magar sach puchhiye to ek chehraa yaad aataa hai

hosh-mandi se jahaan baat na banti ho 'sahar'
kaam aise mein bahut be-khabari aati hai

phir khule ibtidaa-e-ishq ke baab
us ne phir muskuraa ke dekh liyaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

harjaaiyon ke ishq ne kyaa kyaa kiyaa zalil
rusvaa rahe kharaab rahe dar-ba-dar rahe

duniyaa mein koi ishq se bad-tar nahin hai chiiz
dil apnaa muft dijiye phir ji se jaaiye

labon pe jaan hai ik dam kaa aur mehmaan hai
mariz-e-ishq-o-mohabbat kaa tere haal ye hai

ishq ne paidaa kiyaa hai ek dil
husn vaalo ek jalvaa chaahiye
