izzat-e-nafs kaa saudaa kar ke khuun ke ghunT piye har dam — Hammad Hasan

saas aa jaae to kyuun ghar se chipak jaati hai
ye muamma hai samajhne kaa na samjhaane kaa

yahaan ham baiTh kar chaae ke ik cup ko taraste hain
vahaan sab le ke biscuit cake ke ambaar baiThe hain

apni shokhi se na baaz aae tum ab bhi 'hammaad'
shaikh se puchh liyaa raasta mai-khaane kaa

naukar huun daamaad nahin huun kartaa huun ghar ke sab kaam
thakan se haal kharaab hai meraa piilaa ho gayaa maan kaa laal

shab biiti chaand bhi Duub chalaa ab paanv dabaanaa band karo
uTTho jaldi aaTaa gundho tumhein naashta nahin banaanaa kyaa

is ki har ek baat main chupke se maan letaa huun
jis ko ho jaan o dil aziiz us ke khilaaf jaae kyuun

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein

ravaan hai umr aur insaan ghaafil
musaafir hai ki sotaa jaa rahaa hai
