rukhsaar par hai rang-e-hayaa kaa farogh aaj — Hakim Mohammad Ajmal Khan Shaida

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa

dard ko rahne bhi de dil mein davaa ho jaaegi
maut aaegi to ai hamdam shifaa ho jaaegi

duniyaa bas is se aur ziyaada nahin hai kuchh
kuchh roz hain guzaarne aur kuchh guzar gae

vo sar hi kyaa ki jis mein tumhaaraa na ho khayaal
vo dil hi kyaa ki jis mein tumhaaraa guzar na ho

mai na ho bu hi sahi kuchh to ho rindon ke liye
isi hiile se bujhegi havas-e-jaam-e-sharaab

bhalaa tu aur ghar aae mire kyun-kar yaqin kar luun
takhayyul kyuun na ho meraa tiri aavaaz-e-paa kyuun ho
