apne mauqe pe har ik baat bhali hoti hai — Ashique Akbarabadi

tire kuche mein koi huur aa jaati to main kahtaa
ki vo jannat to kyaa jannat hai jannat aisi hoti hai

jalva nigaah mein hai kisi be-niyaaz kaa
putli hamaari aankh ki putlaa hai naaz kaa

na chitvan aap ki Thahri na dil miraa Thahraa
use sukun ho to is ko bhi kuchh qaraar rahe

aarzu ik but ki le kar jaate hain kaabe ko ham
turfa tohfa paas hai ahl-e-haram ke vaaste

gadaa-e-kucha-e-jaanaan huun martaba hai baDaa
ki mere naam hai jaagir be-navaai ki

agar nazaara hai manzur khastaa-haalon kaa
to aao khol dein juuDaa tumhaare baalon kaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

na the aashiq kisi be-daad par ham jab talak 'taabaan'
hamaare dil ke taiin kuchh dard-o-gham tab tak na thaa hargiz

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain
