sitaare gum hue khurshid niklaa — Munawar Khan Ghafil

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

jite-ji qadr bashar ki nahin hoti saahab
yaad aaegi tumhein meri vafaa mere baad

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

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

ham ko yaaron ne yaad bhi na rakhaa
'jaun' yaaron ke yaar the ham to

mire rashk-e-be-nihaayat ko na puchh mere dil se
tujhe tujh se bhi chhupaataa agar ikhtiyaar hotaa

itnaa batlaa mujhe harjaai huun main yaar ki tu
main har ik shakhs se rakhtaa huun sarokaar ki tu

jis ghaDi ghurte ho ghussa se
nikle paDtaa hai pyaar aankhon mein

idhar aa ham dikhaate hain ghazal kaa aaina tujh ko
ye kis ne kah diyaa gesu tire barham nahin pyaare
