aankh kam-bakht se us bazm mein aansu na rukaa — Hafeez Jalandhari

ai miri jaan apne ji ke sivaa
kaun teraa hai kaun meraa hai

'hafiz' apni boli mohabbat ki boli
na urdu na hindi na hindostaani

iraade baandhtaa huun sochtaa huun toD detaa huun
kahin aisaa na ho jaae kahin aisaa na ho jaae

doston ko bhi mile dard ki daulat yaa rab
meraa apnaa hi bhalaa ho mujhe manzur nahin

vafaa jis se ki bevafaa ho gayaa
jise but banaayaa khudaa ho gayaa

dekhaa jo khaa ke tiir kamin-gaah ki taraf
apne hi doston se mulaaqaat ho gai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

dard mein lazzat bahut ashkon mein raanaai bahut
ai gham-e-hasti hamein duniyaa pasand aai bahut

bahut ghurur thaa biphre hue samundar ko
magar jo dekhaa mire aansuon se kam-tar thaa
