hain e'tibaar se kitne gire hue dekhaa — Saail Dehlvi

ye masjid hai ye mai-khaana taajjub is par aataa hai
janaab-e-shaikh kaa naqsh-e-qadam yuun bhi hai aur yuun bhi

aah kartaa huun to aate hain pasine un ko
naala kartaa huun to raaton ko vo Dar jaate hain

khat-e-shauq ko paDh ke qaasid se bole
ye hai kaun divaana khat likhne vaalaa

tumhein parvaa na ho mujh ko to jins-e-dil ki parvaa hai
kahaan DhunDun kahaan pheinki kahaan dekhun kahaan rakh di

janaab-e-shaikh mai-khaane mein baiThe hain barahna-sar
ab un se kaun puchhe aap ne pagDi kahaan rakh di

mohabbat mein jiinaa nai baat hai
na marnaa bhi mar kar karaamaat hai

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

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

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

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

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