oson gai hai pyaas kahin dida-e-namin — Mirza Zahirddin Azfari

kis zamaane ki ye dushman thi miri
is mohabbat kaa ho munh kaalaa miyaan

ye divaane hain mahv-e-did dilbar
nahin kuchh maante yaan ko na vaan ko

ham gunahgaaron ke kyaa khuun kaa phikaa thaa rang
mehndi kis vaaste haathon pe rachaai pyaare

tere mizhgaan ki kyaa karun taarif
tiir ye be-kamaan jaataa hai

ai musavvir shitaab ho ki abhi
us kaa naqsha dhiyaan mein kuchh hai

'azfari' ghuncha-e-dil band aur aai hai bahaar
sair-e-gul ko ki ye shaayad ba-takalluf khil le

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ye aansu DhunDtaa hai teraa daaman
musaafir apni manzil jaantaa hai

main ab tere sivaa kis ko pukaarun
muqaddar so gayaa gham jaagtaa hai

fikr-e-jahaan dard-e-mohabbat firaaq-e-yaar
kyaa kahiye kitne gham hain miri zindagi ke saath
