kaun si jaa hai jahaan jalva-e-maashuq nahin — Ameer Minai

aafat to hai vo naaz bhi andaaz bhi lekin
martaa huun main jis par vo adaa aur hi kuchh hai

maani hain main ne saikaDon baatein tamaam umr
aaj aap ek baat miri maan jaaiye

vo dushmani se dekhte hain dekhte to hain
main shaad huun ki huun to kisi ki nigaah mein

khudaa ne nek surat di to sikho nek baatein bhi
bure hote ho achchhe ho ke ye kyaa bad-zabaani hai

masjid mein bulaate hain hamein zaahid-e-naa-fahm
hotaa kuchh agar hosh to mai-khaane na jaate

tum ko aataa hai pyaar par ghussa
mujh ko ghusse pe pyaar aataa hai

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
