mast hain nashsha-e-javaani se — Mahshar Lakhnavi

baDhtaa jaataa hai tul-e-gesu-e-yaar
ghaTti jaati hai zindagi dil ki

balaaein le rahaa huun is zamin ke zarre zarre ki
luTaa thaa jis jagah raah-e-vafaa mein kaarvaan meraa

shikva-e-hijr-e-yaar kaun kare
husn ko sharmsaar kaun kare

de ke saaghar mujhe kis lutf se saaqi ne kahaa
dekhte jaao abhi ham tumhein kyaa dete hain

saadgi ki intihaa kar di javaanaan chaman
umr bhar rang mizaaj baaghbaan dekhaa kiye

vufur-e-shauq mein ik ik qadam meraa qayaamat thaa
khudaa maalum kyun-kar jalva-zaar-e-husn tak pahunchaa

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

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
