sau iid agar zamaane mein laae falak va-lek — Raza Azimabadi

khushaa ho kar butaan kab aashiqon ko yaad karte hain
'razaa' hairaan huun main kis baat par hai utnaa bholaa tu

sunte to the 'razaa' hain sab hain baDe musalmaan
par kufr mein ziyaada nikle vo barahman se

dekhi thi ek raat tiri zulf khvaab mein
phir jab talak jiyaa main pareshaan hi rahaa

imaarat dair o masjid ki bani hai iinT o patthar se
dil-e-viraana ki kis chiiz se taamir hoti hai

kaabe mein shaikh mujh ko samjhe zalil lekin
sau shukr mai-kade mein hai e'tibaar apnaa

ik dam ke vaaste na kiyaa kyaa kyaa ai 'razaa'
dekhaa chhupaayaa toDaa banaayaa kahaa sunaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa
