baDe sidhe-saadhe baDe bhole-bhaale — Agha Shayar Qazalbash

pahle is mein ik adaa thi naaz thaa andaaz thaa
ruThnaa ab to tiri aadat mein shaamil ho gayaa

milnaa na milnaa ye to muqaddar ki baat hai
tum khush raho raho mire pyaare jahaan kahin

haalat pe meri un ke bhi aansu nikal paDe
dekhaa gayaa na yaas mein aalam nigaah kaa

is liye kahte the dekhaa munh lagaane kaa maza
aaina ab aap kaa madd-e-muqaabil ho gayaa

paamaal kar ke puchhte hain kis adaa se vo
is dil mein aag thi mire talve jhulas gae

abru na sanvaaraa karo kaT jaaegi ungli
naadaan ho talvaar se khelaa nahin karte
