bulbul se kahaa gul ne kar tark mulaaqaatein — Baqaullah 'Baqa'

ishq mein bu hai kibriyaai ki
aashiqi jis ne ki khudaai ki

ishq ne mansab likhe jis din miri taqdir mein
daagh ki naqadi mili sahraa milaa jaagir mein

chhoD kar kucha-e-mai-khaana taraf masjid ke
main to divaana nahin huun jo chalun hosh ki raah

ulfat mein tiri ai but-e-be-mehr-o-mohabbat
aayaa hamein ik haath se taali kaa bajaanaa

is bazm mein puchhe na koi mujh se ki kyaa huun
jo shisha gire sang pe main us ki sadaa huun

kal ke din jo gird mai-khaane ke phirte the kharaab
aaj masjid mein jo dekhaa saahab-e-sajjaada hain

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

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

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

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

teraa ghar aur meraa jangal bhigtaa hai saath saath
aisi barsaatein ki baadal bhigtaa hai saath saath

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun
