nargisi chashm dikhaa kar ke vo vahshat-zada yaar — Qasim Ali Khan Afridi

shaikh mujh ko na Daraa apni musalmaani thaam
ham faqiron kaa kisi rang se imaan na jaae

bas nahin chaltaa hai varna apne mar jaane ke saath
pheink dete khod kar duniyaa ki sab buniyaad ham

lab-e-shirin se agar ho na teraa lab shirin
kohkan tu bhi to ab daaman-e-kohsaar na chhoD

yaar kaa kucha hai masjud-e-khalaaiq dekh le
sang hai kaabe mein murat dair mein hai mushtarak

mujhe khushi ki giraftaar main huaa teraa
to shaad ho ki hai aisaa shikaar asiir miraa

khudaa ko sajda kar ke mubtazil zaahid huaa ab to
to jaa kar mah-jabin ke aastaan pe jubba-saai kar

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

raushan jamaal-e-yaar se hai anjuman tamaam
dahkaa huaa hai aatish-e-gul se chaman tamaam

jo chaahtaa hai ki ban jaae vo baDaa shaaer
vo jaa ke dosti gaanThe kisi mudir ke saath

zamaana dosti par in hasinon ki na itraae
ye aalam-dost aksar dushman-e-aalam bhi hote hain

ghash khaa ke 'daagh' yaar ke qadmon pe gir paDaa
behosh ne bhi kaam kiyaa hoshiyaar kaa

bahan kaa pyaar maan ki maamtaa do chikhti aankhein
yahi tohfe the vo jin ko main aksar yaad kartaa thaa
