jite-ji qadr bashar ki nahin hoti saahab — Munawar Khan Ghafil

sitaare gum hue khurshid niklaa
araq jab yaar ne ponchhaa jabin se

apne majnun ki zaraa dekh to be-parvaai
pairahan chaak hai aur fikr silaane ki nahin

kucha-e-jaanaan mein yaaro kaun suntaa hai miri
mujh se vaan phirte hain laakhon daad aur be-daad mein

kaun dariyaa-e-mohabbat se utar saktaa hai paar
kashti-e-farhaad aakhir koh se Takraa gai

baad marne ke miri qabr pe aayaa 'ghaafil'
yaad aai mire iisaa ko davaa mere baad

vasl mein bhi nahin majaal-e-sukhan
is rasaai pe naa-rasaa hain ham

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

tu jafaaon se jo badnaam kiye jaataa hai
yaad aaegi tujhe meri vafaa mere baad

ye ilm kaa saudaa ye risaale ye kitaabein
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain
