basaan-e-naqsh-e-qadam tere dar se ahl-e-vafaa — Meerza Jawan Bakht Jahandar

kahein so kis se 'jahaandaar' us ki nazron mein
raqib kaam ke Thahre aur ham hain naa-kaare

tire ishq se jab se paale paDe hain
hamein apne jiine ke laale paDe hain

mujh dil mein hai jo but ki parastish ki aarzu
dekhi nahin vo aaj talak barhaman ke biich

aakhir gil apni sarf-e-dar-e-mai-kada hui
pahunche vahaan hi khaak jahaan kaa khamir ho

ki dil ne dil-baraan-e-jahaan ki bahut talaash
kui dil-rubaa milaa hai na dil-khvaah kyaa kare

miraa khun-e-dil yuun bahaa dasht mein
ki jangal mein lohu ke thaale paDe

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
