murdamaan bisyaar honge aur jaa-e-qabr tang — Dilawar Figar

is kaa kyaa hogaa ye jo unvaan aadhaa rah gayaa
ye bhi lete jaaein jo saamaan aadhaa rah gayaa

main bhi thaa haazir bazm mein jab tu ne dekhaa hi nahin
main bhi uThaa kar chal diyaa bilkul nayaa juutaa tiraa

pakDi gai radif to fauran ye kah diyaa
likhnaa kabhi thaa aur main yahaan likh gayaa abhi

ek achchhaa-khaasaa mard zanaane mein ghus paDaa
goyaa ki ek chor khazaane mein ghus paDaa

ek shaadi to Thiik hai lekin
ek do tiin chaar had kar di

kyaa bataaun mein tumhein is shahr kaa jughraafiya
bambai hai ik ghazal gaD-baD hai jis kaa qaafiya

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

aaina khud bhi sanvartaa thaa hamaari khaatir
ham tire vaaste tayyaar huaa karte the

vo raatein kaif mein Duubi vo teri pyaar ki baatein
nikal paDte hain aansu jab kabhi ham yaad karte hain

ye sikhaayaa hai dosti ne hamein
dost ban kar kabhi vafaa na karo

aadmi huun vasf-e-paighambar na maang
mujh se mere dost meraa sar na maang

piine ko yuun to shaikh bhi tayyaar hain magar
kahte hain shart ye hai girah se na zar khule
