mein iztiraab ke aalam mein raqs kartaa rahaa — Afzal Allahabadi

yuun ilaaj-e-dil bimaar kiyaa jaaegaa
sharbat-e-did se sarshaar kiyaa jaaegaa

main chaahtaa thaa ki us ko gulaab pesh karun
vo khud gulaab thaa us ko gulaab kyaa detaa

abhi to us kaa koi tazkira huaa bhi nahin
abhi se bazm mein khushbu kaa raqs jaari hai

teri nisbat mili mujhe jab se
main koi aarzu nahin kartaa

ab to har ek adaakaar se Dar lagtaa hai
mujh ko dushman se nahin yaar se Dar lagtaa hai

ghamon ki dhuup mein milte hain saaebaan ban kar
zamin pe rahte hain kuchh log aasmaan ban kar
