'anis' aasaan nahin aabaad karnaa ghar mohabbat kaa — Meer Anees

khaak se hai khaak ko ulfat taDaptaa huun 'anis'
karbalaa ke vaaste main karbalaa mere liye

'anis' dam kaa bharosaa nahin Thahar jaao
charaagh le ke kahaan saamne havaa ke chale

aashiq ko dekhte hain dupaTTe ko taan kar
dete hain ham ko sharbat-e-didaar chhaan kar

tamaam umr jo ki ham se be-rukhi sab ne
kafan mein ham bhi azizon se munh chhupaa ke chale

ashk-e-gham dida-e-pur-nam se sambhaale na gae
ye vo bachche hain jo maan baap se paale na gae

sivaae khaak ke baaqi asar nishaan se na the
zamin se dab gae dabte jo aasmaan se na the

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

nuqsaan ho rahaa hai bahut kaarobaar mein
abbaa paDe hain jab se paDosan ke pyaar mein

achchhi-khaasi dosti thi yaar ham donon ke biich
ek din phir us ne izhaar-e-mohabbat kar diyaa

kitnaa pyaaraa lagtaa hai
hotaa hai jab puuraa chaand

'ajab ehsaas hai ki jab use dekhun
mujhe pahli mohabbat yaad aati hai
