chhoD kar ham ko milaa shama-rukhon se jaa kar — Lala Madhav Ram Jauhar

ai dost tujh ko rahm na aae to kyaa karun
dushman bhi mere haal pe ab aab-dida hai

apni zabaan se mujhe jo chaahe kah lein aap
baDh baDh ke bolnaa nahin achchhaa raqib kaa

jab kahte hain ham karte ho kyuun vaada-khilaafi
farmaate hain hans kar ye nai baat nahin hai

us ne phir kar bhi na dekhaa main use dekhaa kiyaa
de diyaa dil raah chalte ko ye main ne kyaa kiyaa

mal rahe hain vo apne ghar mehndi
ham yahaan eDiyaan ragaDte hain

vahi shaagird phir ho jaate hain ustaad ai 'jauhar'
jo apne jaan-o-dil se khidmat-e-ustaad karte hain

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

'saif' andaaz-e-bayaan rang badal detaa hai
varna duniyaa mein koi baat nai baat nahin

kunj-e-hairat se chale dasht-e-ziyaan tak laae
kaun laa saktaa hai ham dil ko jahaan tak laae

tum ne kyuun dil mein jagah di hai buton ko 'saabir'
tum ne kyuun kaaba ko but-khaana banaa rakkhaa hai

pahli nazar bhi aap ki uff kis balaa ki thi
ham aaj tak vo choT hain dil par liye hue

charchaa hamaaraa ishq ne kyuun jaa-ba-jaa kiyaa
dil us ko de diyaa to bhalaa kyaa buraa kiyaa
