gayaa hai kucha-e-kaakul mein ab dil — Goya Faqir Mohammad

bijli chamki to abr royaa
yaad aa gai kyaa hansi kisi ki

har gaam pe hi saae se ik misraa-e-mauzun
gar chand qadam chaliye to kyaa khuub ghazal ho

aasmaan kahte hain jis ko vo zamin-e-sher hai
maah-e-nau misraa hai vasf-e-abru-e-khamdaar mein

vo tifl-e-nusairi aae shaayad
qasmein duun murtazaa-ali ki

khaar chubh kar jo TuTtaa hai kabhi
aabla phuuT phuuT rotaa hai

saare quraan se us pari-ru ko
yaad ik lafz-e-lan-taraani hai

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

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

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram
