miri bandagi se mire jurm afzun — 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

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

ye ilm kaa saudaa ye risaale ye kitaabein
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain
