sabaa bhi duur khaDi apne haath malti hai — Joshish Azimabadi

allaah taa-qayaamat tujh ko rakhe salaamat
kyaa kyaa sitam na dekhe ham ne tire karam se

tujh se ham-bazm hon nasib kahaan
tu kahaan aur main gharib kahaan

zaahid na rahne paaeinge aabaad mai-kade
jab tak na Dhaaiyegaa tiri khaanqaah ko

vo maah bhar ke jaam-e-mai-naab le gayaa
ik dam mein aaftaab ko mahtaab le gayaa

ai zulf-e-yaar tujh se bhi aashufta-tar huun main
mujh saa na koi hogaa pareshaan-e-rozgaar

chashm-e-vahdat se gar koi dekhe
but-parasti bhi haq-parasti hai

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

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan
