main kahaa ahd kyaa kiyaa thaa raat — Dagh Dehlvi

hazrat-e-'daagh' hai ye kucha-e-qaatil uThiye
jis jagah baiThte hain aap to jam jaate hain

dil hi to hai na aae kyuun dam hi to hai na jaae kyuun
ham ko khudaa jo sabr de tujh saa hasin banaae kyuun

baad muddat ke ye ai 'daagh' samajh mein aayaa
vahi daanaa hai kahaa jis ne na maanaa dil kaa

na ronaa hai tariqe kaa na hansnaa hai saliqe kaa
pareshaani mein koi kaam ji se ho nahin saktaa

sar miraa kaaT ke pachhtaaiyegaa
jhuTi phir kis ki qasam khaaiyegaa

kal tak to aashnaa the magar aaj ghair ho
do din mein ye mizaaj hai aage ki khair ho

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

aa hi jaataa thaa khayaal-e-ghair mere zehn mein
'ain mauqa' par tumhaari yaad ne khaTkaa kiyaa

ijz ke saath chale aae hain ham 'yazdaani'
koi aur un ko manaa lene kaa Dhab yaad nahin

kabhi bolnaa vo khafaa khafaa kabhi baiThnaa vo judaa judaa
vo zamaana naaz o niyaaz kaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho

kis kaa hai jigar jis pe ye bedaad karoge
lo dil tumhein ham dete hain kyaa yaad karoge

aah ye mahki hui shaamein ye logon ke hujum
dil ko kuchh biiti hui tanhaaiyaan yaad aa gaiin
