tohmat-e-chand apne zimme dhar chale — Khwaja Meer Dard

ne gul ko hai sabaat na ham ko hai e'tibaar
kis baat par chaman havas-e-rang-o-bu karein

tujhi ko jo yaan jalva-farmaa na dekhaa
baraabar hai duniyaa ko dekhaa na dekhaa

baagh-e-jahaan ke gul hain yaa khaar hain to ham hain
gar yaar hain to ham hain aghyaar hain to ham hain

aankhein bhi haae nazaa mein apni badal gaiin
sach hai ki bekasi mein koi aashnaa nahin

yak-ba-yak naam le uThaa meraa
ji mein kyaa us ke aa gayaa hogaa

saaqi mire bhi dil ki taraf Tuk nigaah kar
lab-tishna teri bazm mein ye jaam rah gayaa

har taraf hain khaana-barbaadi ke manzar be-shumaar
kuchh Thikaana hai bhalaa is jazba-e-taamir kaa

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

gham-e-aarzu kaa 'hasrat' sabab aur kyaa bataaun
miri himmaton ki pasti mire shauq ki bulandi

shaa'iri kyaa hai miri jaan tujhe maa'lum nahin
ek tohmat hai jo mujh par bhi lagaa di gai hai

vahaan se hai miri himmat ki ibtidaa vallaah
jo intihaa hai tire sabr aazmaane ki

ye pyaar kaa jazba tire kuchh kaam to aae
meraa nahin bantaa hai to ban aur kisi kaa
