khaTak rahi hai koi shai nikaal de koi — Mubarak Azimabadi

dil lagaate hi to kah deti hain aankhein sab kuchh
aise kaamon ke bhi aaghaaz kahin chhupte hain

kuchh is andaaz se sayyaad ne aazaad kiyaa
jo chale chhuT ke qafas se vo giraftaar chale

tiri adaa ki qasam hai tiri adaa ke sivaa
pasand aur kisi ki hamein adaa na hui

tum ko samjhaae 'mubaarak' koi kyunkar afsos
tum to rone lage yaar aur bhi samjhaane se

miri khaak bhi uDegi baa-adab tiri gali mein
tire aastaan se unchaa na miraa ghubaar hogaa

rahne de apni bandagi zaahid
be-mohabbat khudaa nahin miltaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ulfat ke badle un se milaa dard-e-laa-ilaaj
itnaa baDhe hai dard main jitni davaa karun

ishq se log manaa karte hain
jaise kuchh ikhtiyaar hai apnaa

ishq mein shikva kufr hai aur har iltijaa haraam
toD de kaasa-e-muraad ishq gadaagari nahin

tu jo talvaar se nahlaae lahu mein mujh ko
ghusl-e-sehhat huaa bhi ishq ki bimaari se
