matlab kaa zamaana hai 'naadir' koi kyaa degaa — Nadir Shahjahanpuri

bhare rahte hain ashk aankhon mein har dam
miri har saans mein ab gham ki bu hai

tu hi vo phuul hai jo hai mahbub
patte patte kaa Daali Daali kaa

nang hai raaz-e-mohabbat kaa numaayaan honaa
mar bhi jaaun main agar tum na pareshaan honaa

rahmat-e-haq ko na kar maayus apne feal se
vo bhalaai mein nahin jo hai buraai mein mazaa

ham dil fidaa karein ki tasadduq-e-jigar karein
jo bhi kahein huzur vahi umr bhar karein

phuul khulte hi titli bhi aai
kyaa koi dosti puraani hai

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

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

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

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

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

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