jaam-e-aqiq zard hai nargis ke haath mein — 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

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

shaikh ki daavat mein mai kaa kaam kyaa
ehtiyaatan kuchh mangaa li jaaegi

zakhm ye vasl ke marham se bhi shaayad na bhare
hijr mein aisi mili ab ke masaafat ham ko

vo mujh ko pilaaein jo kabhi haath se apne
phir jaam hi kyaa zahr bhi pi jaaun khushi se

jalva o dil mein farq nahin jalve ko hi ab dil kahte hain
yaani ishq ki hasti kaa aaghaaz to hai anjaam nahin
