mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa — Qateel Shifai

abhi to baat karo ham se doston ki tarah
phir ikhtilaaf ke pahlu nikaalte rahnaa

aakhri hichki tire zaanun pe aae
maut bhi main shaairaana chaahtaa huun

apne haathon ki lakiron mein sajaa le mujh ko
main huun teraa tu nasib apnaa banaa le mujh ko

nikal kar dair-o-kaaba se agar miltaa na but-khaana
to Thukraae hue insaan khudaa jaane kahaan jaate

kyuun sharik-e-gham banaate ho kisi ko ai 'qatil'
apni suuli apne kaandhe par uThaao chup raho

ab jis ke ji mein aae vahi paae raushni
ham ne to dil jalaa ke sar-e-aam rakh diyaa

umr bhar us ne bevafaai ki
umr se bhi vo baa-vafaa na rahaa

dekh saktaa huun binaa chashme ke main
dost teri bevafaai saaf saaf

ghair ne tum ko jaan kahaa samjhe bhi kuchh ki kyaa kahaa
yaani ki bevafaa kahaa jaan kaa e'tibaar kyaa

fareb-e-abr-e-karam bhi baDaa sahaaraa hai
balaa se nakhl-e-tamannaa khizaan-rasida nahin

jaan kar us but kaa ghar kaaba ko sajda kar liyaa
ai barahman mujh ko baitullaah ne dhokaa diyaa

fareb-e-maah-o-anjum se nikal jaaein to achchhaa hai
zaraa suraj ne karvaT li ye taare Duub jaaeinge
