dam-e-takfin bhi gar yaar aave — Rajab Ali Beg Suroor

naadaan kah rahe hain jise aaftaab-e-hashr
zarra hai us ke ru-e-darakhshaan ke saamne

ab hai duaa ye apni har shaam har sahar ko
yaa vo badan se lipTe yaa jaan tan se nikle

na pahunchaa gosh tak ik tere haihaat
hazaaron naala niklaa is dahan se

laazim hai soz-e-ishq kaa shoala ayaan na ho
jal bujhiye is tarah se ki mutlaq dhuaan na ho

kyaa yahi thi shart kuchh insaaf ki ai tund-khu
jo bhalaa ho aap se us se buraai kijiye

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

yaaraan-e-ham-mazaaq ki mahfil sajaaiye
jo muttafiq na ho use badnaam kijiye

vo ghazal ki kitaab hai pyaare
us ko paDhnaa savaab hai pyaare

tiri shokh aankhon mein baarhaa kai khvaab dekhe hain pyaar ke
tiraa pyaar meraa nasib hai kisi aur ko ye vafaa na de

main puchh letaa huun yaaron se rat-jagon kaa sabab
magar vo mujh se mire khvaab puchh lete hain

bahut chhoTe hain mujh se mere dushman
jo meraa dost hai mujh se baDaa hai
