ham gadaa-e-dar-e-mai-khaana hain ai pir-e-mughaan — Sahir Dehlavi

ahd-e-misaaq kaa laazim hai adab ai vaaiz
hai ye paimaan-e-vafaa rishta-e-zunnaar na toD

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

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

main hikaayat-e-dil-e-be-navaa mein ishaarat-e-gham-e-jaavidaan
main vo harf-e-aakhir-e-motabar jo likhaa gayaa na paDhaa gayaa

taarikh bataaegi vo qatra hai ki dariyaa
aansu hai abhi vaqt ke qadmon mein paDaa hai

chheDaa hai ek naghma-e-shirin bhi ku-ba-ku
dil ne hilaal-e-id ki taaid ke liye
