haal-e-dil yaar ko mahfil mein sunaaein kyun-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

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram
