ham talvaar uThaa nahin paae — Mohammad Mustahsan Jami

bin dekhe bhi chain nahin hai 'mustahsan'
dekhun to saari binaai jaati hai

tiri lab-kushaai pe munhasir miri zindagaani hai dostaa
tiraa bolnaa bhi qubul hai tiri khaamushi bhi aziiz hai

lutf ki in pe koi khaas nazar hai ki nahin
apne maston ki koi khair-khabar hai ki nahin

sivaae is ke koi bhi masrufiyat nahin hai
main in dinon bas charaagh taqsim kar rahaa huun

duniyaa ke qaafile mein ravaana hain is liye
ham bhi munaafiqin ki pahchaan kar sakein

rang badlaa huaa thaa phulon kaa
tum yaqinan udaas guzre the
