jo baat hijr ki aati to apne daaman se — Nazeer Akbar Abadi

jise mol lenaa ho le le khushi se
main is vaqt donon jahaan bechtaa huun

ghash khaa ke giraa pahle hi shoale ki jhalak se
muusaa ko bhalaa kahiye to kyaa tuur ki sujhi

mai bhi hai miinaa bhi hai saaghar bhi hai saaqi nahin
dil mein aataa hai lagaa dein aag mai-khaane ko ham

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

mazmun-e-sard-mehri-e-jaanaan raqam karun
gar haath aae kaaghaz-e-kashmir kaa varaq

vo aap se ruThaa nahin manne kaa 'nazir' aah
kyaa dekhe hai chal paanv paD aur us ko manaa laa

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

koi tanhaai kaa gosha koi kunj-e-aafiyat
aashiq-o-maashuq yakjaa hon kahaan ai aasmaan

khaDaa huaa huun sar-e-raah muntazir kab se
ki koi guzre to gham kaa ye bojh uThvaa de

sadaa kise dein 'naimi' kise dikhaaein zakhm
ab itni raat gae kaun jaagtaa hogaa
