vo ye kah kar daagh dete hain mujhe — Aziz Hyderabadi

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

gin rahaa huun harf un ke ahd ke
mujh ko dhokaa de rahi hai yaad kyaa

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

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

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

khushbuon kaa nuzul hotaa thaa
pahle pattaa bhi phuul hotaa thaa

shaakh se kaT kar alag hone kaa ham ko gham nahin
phuul hain khushbu luTaa kar khaak ho jaaeinge ham
