dabaa sakaa na sadaa us ki teri bazm kaa shor — Meer Ahmad Naved

zakhm-e-talaash mein hai nihaan marham-e-dalil
tu apnaa dil na haar mohabbat bahaal rakh

mumkin nahin hai shaayad donon kaa saath rahnaa
teri khabar jab aai apni khabar gai hai

charaagh-haa-e-takalluf bujhaa diye gae hain
uThaao jaam ki parde uThaa diye gae hain

khud se guzre to qayaamat se guzar jaaeinge ham
yaani har haal ki haalat se guzar jaaeinge ham

pesh-e-zamin rahun ki pas-e-aasmaan rahun
rahtaa huun apne saath main chaahe jahaan rahun

ai khalish bol kyaa yahi hai khudaa
ye jo dil mein khalaa saa rahtaa hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

nazar bachaa ke jo aansu kiye the main ne paak
khabar na thi yahi dhabbe baneinge daaman ke

bataa khud ko bhalaa kaise sanvaarun
mujhe gham aainon mein dikh rahaa hai

us pe qurbaan ki jis ne tiri aavaaz suni
sadqe us aankh ke jis ne tiraa jalva dekhaa
