vo abr ghiraa jhuum ke rahmat ke din aae — Aziz Hyderabadi

vo ye kah kar daagh dete hain mujhe
phuul se pahle samar aate nahin

mushkil hai imtiyaaz-e-azaab-o-savaab mein
piitaa huun main sharaab milaa kar gulaab mein

koi rusvaa koi saudaai hai
ik jahaan aap kaa shaidaai hai

zor qismat pe chal nahin saktaa
khaamushi ikhtiyaar kartaa huun

us ne sun kar baat meri Taal di
uljhanon mein aur uljhan Daal di

ayaan yaa nihaan ik nazar dekh lete
kisi surat un ko magar dekh lete

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

mar gae pyaas ke maare to uThaa abr-e-karam
bujh gai bazm to ab shama jalaataa kyaa hai
