khumaar-e-dida-e-anjum sharaab-e-lail-o-nahaar — Izhaar Malihabadi

hazaar jaam chhalakte hue nafas-ba-nafas
hazaar baagh mahakte hue qadam-ba-qadam

jahaan hai sher charaagh-e-junun jalaae hue
vahaan khaDi hai khirad apnaa sar jhukaae hue

harim-e-dil mein jab aataa hai naaz farmaataa
tarab ke phuul khilaataa hai ye musavvir-e-gham

khurush-e-sarsar-o-tufaan jamud-e-dasht-o-saraab
surud-e-fasl-e-bahaaraan khiraam-e-gardish-e-yam

subu-e-falsafa-e-ishq-o-kahkashaan-e-hayaat
shuaa-e-qahr-e-tabassum charaagh-e-dida-e-nam

na puchh sher hai kyaa chiiz mujh se ai hamdam
mizaaj-e-aatish-e-sozaan lataafat-e-shabnam

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
