tiri duuri kaa mujh ko gham nahin hai — Jagan Nath Azad

main dil mein un ki yaad ke tufaan ko paal kar
laayaa huun ek mauj-e-taghazzul nikaal kar

DhunDhne par bhi na miltaa thaa mujhe apnaa vajud
main talaash-e-dost mein yuun be-nishaan thaa dosto

allaah re be-khudi ki tire ghar ke aas-paas
har dar pe di sadaa tire dar ke khayaal mein

ibtidaa ye thi ki main thaa aur daavaa ilm kaa
intihaa ye hai ki is daave pe sharmaayaa bahut

sukun-e-dil jahaan-e-besh-o-kam mein DhunDne vaale
yahaan har chiiz milti hai sukun-e-dil nahin miltaa

niind kyaa hai zaraa si der ki maut
maut kyaa kyaa hai tamaam umr ki niind

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

musaafir hi musaafir har taraf hain
magar har shakhs tanhaa jaa rahaa hai

pukaaraa qaasid-e-ashk aaj fauj-e-gham ke haathon se
huaa taaraaj pahle shahr-e-jaan dil kaa nagar pichhe

guzar to jaaegi tere baghair bhi lekin
bahut udaas bahut be-qaraar guzregi
