haath mein le kar gilauri mujh ko dikhlaa kar kahaa — 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

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

kyaa hue surat-nigaaraan khvaab ke
khvaab ke surat-nigaaraan kyaa hue

baDi aarzu thi ham ko nae khvaab dekhne ki
so ab apni zindagi mein nae khvaab bhar rahe hain

ai mere khvaab aa miri aankhon ko rang de
ai meri raushni tu mujhe raastaa dikhaa
