saaqiyaa mai kahaan hai shishe mein — Maroof Dehlvi

dard-e-sar mein hai kise sandal lagaane kaa dimaagh
us kaa ghisnaa aur lagaanaa dard-e-sar ye bhi to hai

havaa ke ghoDe pe jab vo savaar hote hain
to paa ke vaqt main kyaa kyaa maze uDaataa huun

teri aankhon ke tasavvur mein hai sair-e-kaunain
varna ham log idhar ke idhar ho ke rahte

kaaba-o-dair ko apnaa to yahin se hai salaam
dar-ba-dar kaun phire yaar ke dar ke hote

ghaflat mein javaani gai piiri mein huaa hosh
kyuun kar na khule aankh sahar hi to hai aakhir

main ne aahein bharin to ruk ke kahaa
ghar mein dhuni si kyaa lagaa di hai

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

'ghaalib' chhuTi sharaab par ab bhi kabhi kabhi
piitaa huun roz-e-abr o shab-e-maahtaab mein

na gul khile hain na un se mile na mai pi hai
ajiib rang mein ab ke bahaar guzri hai

khudaa ke haath hai biknaa na biknaa mai kaa ai saaqi
baraabar masjid-e-jaame ke ham ne ab dukaan rakh di
