ahd-e-misaaq kaa laazim hai adab ai vaaiz — Sahir Dehlavi

qulzum-e-fikr mein hai kashti-e-imaan saalim
naa-khudaa husn hai aur ishq hai langar apnaa

mil-milaa ke donon ne dil ko kar diyaa barbaad
husn ne kiyaa be-khud ishq ne kiyaa aazaad

jo laa-mazhab ho us ko millat-o-mashrab se kyaa matlab
miraa mashrab hai rindi rind ko mazhab se kyaa matlab

aate hue is tan mein na jaate hue tan se
hai jaan-e-makin ko na lagaavaT na rukaavaT

gham-e-maujud ghalat aur gham-e-fardaa baatil
raahat ik khvaab hai jis ki koi taabir nahin

qadam hai ain hudus aur hudus ain qadam
jo tu na jalve mein aataa to main kahaan hotaa

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

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

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

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
