ji churaane ki nahin shart dil-e-zaar yahaan — Natiq Gulavthi

mujh se naaraaz hain jo log vo khush hain un se
main judaa chiiz huun 'naatiq' mire ashaar judaa

hangaama-e-hayaat se lenaa to kuchh nahin
haan dekhte chalo ki tamaashaa hai raah kaa

vahaan se le gai naakaam badbakhton ko khud-kaami
jahaan chashm-e-karam se khud-ba-khud kuchh kaam honaa thaa

aati hai yaad subh-e-masarrat ki baar baar
khurshid aate aate use kal uThaa to laa

sab ko ye shikaayat hai ki hanstaa nahin 'naatiq'
ham ko ye taajjub ki vo giryaan nahin hotaa

kuchh nahin achchhaa to duniyaa mein buraa bhi kuchh nahin
kijiye sab kuchh magar apni zarurat dekh kar

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

tumhin ko chaaheinge zindagi bhar kisi se ulfat nahin kareinge
jo kah diyaa hai so kah diyaa hai nai mohabbat nahin kareinge

sunaa haal-e-dil-e-'majruh' shab ko
koi hasrat si hasrat thi bayaan mein

ilaahi tu bhi pyaaraa but bhi pyaaraa phir sunun kis ki
idhar kuchh shaikh kahtaa hai aur us jaanib barahman bhi

hamaare aage tiraa jab kisu ne naam liyaa
dil-e-sitam-zada ko ham ne thaam thaam liyaa
