yaar ke darsan ke khaatir jaan aur tan bhuul jaa — Alimullah

taalaab iraade kaa bhare pal mein labaalab
jab yaar ke dariyaa-e-karam suun lahr aave

chaman suun dil ke aalam ko khabar nahin
hamesha dekhte khaaki badan ko

ishq ke kuche mein jab jaataa hai dil karne ko sair
vaan nahin maalum hotaa roz hai yaa raat hai

ajab kuchh ishq ki khush-tar hai vaadi
ki jis vaadi mein hai har vaqt shaadi

tark de islaam ko aur kufr saaraa duur kar
chhoD de hirs-o-havaa farzand aur zan bhuul jaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost
