bhultaa hi nahin vo dil se use — Imam Bakhsh Nasikh

taazgi hai sukhan-e-kuhna mein ye baad-e-vafaat
log aksar mire jiine kaa gumaan rakhte hain

ham mai-kashon ko Dar nahin marne kaa mohtasib
firdaus mein bhi sunte hain nahr-e-sharaab hai

ham zaifon ko kahaan aamad o shud ki taaqat
aankh ki band huaa kucha-e-jaanaan paidaa

shubh 'naasikh' nahin kuchh 'mir' ki ustaadi mein
aap be-bahra hai jo mo'taqid-e-'mir' nahin

kaam kyaa nikle kisi tadbir se
aadmi majbur hai taqdir se

takallum hi faqat hai us sanam kaa
khudaa ki tarah goyaa be-dahaan hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi
