sajde kartaa jaa rahaa huun ku-e-jaanaan ki taraf — Manzar Lakhnavi

vo to kahiye aap ki ulfat mein dil bahlaa rahaa
varna duniyaa chaar din bhi rahne ke qaabil na thi

muddaton baa'd kabhi ai nazar aane vaale
iid kaa chaand na dekhaa tiri surat dekhi

in se jab puchhaa gayaa bismil tumhaare kyaa karein
hans ke bole zakhm-e-dil dekhaa karein royaa karein

kisi aankh mein niind aae to jaanun
miraa qissa-e-gham kahaani nahin hai

daaman-o-jeb-o-garebaan kaa nahin koi malaal
gham ye hai dast-e-junun kal ke liye kaam nahin

kam-sini kyaa kam thi is par qahr hai shakki mizaaj
apnaa naavak mere dil se khinch kar dekhaa kiye

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe
