rahne ko apne paas koi chhat nahin magar — Ahsan Gulfam

shahr kaa shahr ye pichhe jo paDaa hai mere
tere divaane mein kuchh baat to hoti hogi

ye shaairi kaa takalluf badan pe achchhaa libaas
sab iltizaam usi ek be-vafaa ke liye

mujh ko daavaa nahin yusuf saa hasin hone kaa
phir bhi hai meraa zulekhaaon mein charchaa saahab

itni mahngaai hai marnaa bhi agar chaahun to
zahr miltaa nahin baazaar mein sastaa saahab

ab kahaan miltaa hai aashiq koi sachchaa saahab
zakhm hi koi lagaa dein mujhe achchhaa saahab

kahne ko faqat ibn-e-ali ibn-e-ali hain
dekho to kahin jazba-e-haidar nahin miltaa
