us vaqt jab tilism-e-falak TuTne ko thaa — Muzaffar Hanfi

aangan mein ye raat ki raani saanpon kaa ghar kaaT ise
kamra albatta suunaa hai kone mein guldaan lagaa

roti hui ek bhiiD mire gird khaDi thi
shaayad ye tamaasha mire hansne ke liye thaa

shukriya reshmi dilaase kaa
tiir to aap ne bhi maaraa thaa

bachpan mein aakaash ko chhutaa saa lagtaa thaa
is pipal ki shaakhein ab kitni nichi hain

bataaein kyaa ki bechaini baDhaate hain vahi aa kar
bahut bechain ham jin ke liye maalum hote hain

bheDiye aur ishtiraak-shudaa
biich mein ik hiran halaak-shudaa

taa-falak le gai betaabi-e-dil tab bole
hazrat-e-ishq ki pahlaa hai ye ziinaa apnaa

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein

zamaana laakh sitaaron ko chhu ke aa jaae
abhi dilon ko magar haajat-e-rafu hai vahi

kuchh aur din abhi is jaa qayaam karnaa thaa
yahaan charaagh vahaan par sitaara dharnaa thaa

ham apni dharti se apni har samt khud talaashein
hamaari khaatir koi sitaara nahin chalegaa

falak ne bhi sikhe hain tere hi taur
ki apne kiye par pashemaan nahin
