hamesha mai-kade mein khush-qadon kaa majmaa hai — Muneer Shikohabadi

khuub taazir-e-gunaah-e-ishq hai
naqd-e-jaan lenaa yahaan jurmaana hai

sunti hai roz naghma-e-zanjir-e-aashiqaan
vo zulf bhi hai silsila-e-ahl-e-chisht mein

jis roz main gintaa huun tire aane ki ghaDiyaan
suraj ko banaa deti hai sone ki ghaDi baat

haath milvaate ho tarsaae gilauri ke liye
kaf-e-afsos na mal jaae kahin paanv mein

jab kabhi maski kaTori kyaa sadaa paidaa hui
karti hai angiyaa ki chiDiyaa chahchahaane ki havas

ho gayaa maamur aalam jab kiyaa darbaar-e-aam
takhliya chaahaa to duniyaa saaf khaali ho gai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

main jis mein rah na sakaa ji-huzuriyon ke sabab
ye aadmi hai usi kaamyaab mausam kaa
