ghar hamaaraa phunk kar kal ik paDosi ai 'atiq' — Ateeq Allahabadi

'atiq' bujhtaa bhi kaise charaagh-e-dil meraa
lagi thi us ki hifaazat mein saari raat havaa

honTon par ik baar sajaa kar apne honT
us ke baad na baatein karnaa so jaanaa

navaaztaa thaa hamesha vo gham ki daulat se
aur is khazaane se main maalaa maal ho hi gayaa

main ne puchhaa ye bataa mujh se bichhaDne kaa tujhe
kuchh qalaq hotaa hai kyaa us ne kahaa thoDaa bahut

dev pari ke qisse sun kar
bhuke bachche so lete hain

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

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

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

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

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

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne
