tohmat-e-jurm-o-khataa hirs-o-havaa ghaflat-e-dil — Mirza Maseeta Beg Muntahi

tere baazaar-e-dahr mein gardun
ham bhi aae hain ik qabaa ke liye

jalaa kar zaahidon ko mai-kashon ko shaad karte hain
giraa kar masjidon ko mai-kade aabaad karte hain

piiri hui shabaab se utraa jhaTak gayaa
shaaer huun meraa misra-e-saani laTak gayaa

baad marne ke Thikaane lag gai miTTi miri
khaak se aashiq ki kyaa kyaa yaar ke saaghar bane

asiir kar ke hamein hukm de gayaa sayyaad
qafas ho tang to un ke na baal-o-par rakhnaa

khud rahm kijiye dil-e-ummid-vaar par
aaphi nikaaliye koi surat nibaah ki

gham-e-aarzu kaa 'hasrat' sabab aur kyaa bataaun
miri himmaton ki pasti mire shauq ki bulandi

shaa'iri kyaa hai miri jaan tujhe maa'lum nahin
ek tohmat hai jo mujh par bhi lagaa di gai hai

de hausle ki daad ki ham tere gham mein aaj
baiThe hain mahfilon ko sajaae tire baghair

vo utar gae the jo paar khud mujhe biich bahr mein chhoD kar
thaa jo un mein itnaa hi hausla mujhe Dubtaa bhi to dekhte

manzil na de charaagh na de hausla to de
tinke kaa hi sahi tu magar aasraa to de

tum ham-safar hue to hui zindagi aziiz
mujh mein to zindagi kaa koi hausla na thaa
