gardish-e-bakht se baDhti hi chali jaati hain — Bekhud Badayuni

shikva sun kar jo mizaaj-e-but-e-bad-khu badlaa
ham ne bhi saath hi taqrir kaa pahlu badlaa

khuun ho jaaein khaak mein mil jaaein
hazrat-e-dil se kuchh baiid nahin

vo un kaa vasl mein ye kah ke muskuraa denaa
tulu-e-subh se pahle hamein jagaa denaa

vo jo kar rahe hain bajaa kar rahe hain
ye jo ho rahaa hai bajaa ho rahaa hai

shifaa kyaa ho nahin sakti hamein lekin nahin hoti
davaa kyaa kar nahin sakte hain ham lekin nahin karte

apni khu-e-vafaa se Dartaa huun
aashiqi bandagi na ho jaae

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

badalte vaqt ne badle mizaaj bhi kaise
tiri adaa bhi gai meraa baankpan bhi gayaa

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein
