tiis din yaar ab na aaegaa — Sakhi Lakhnvi

ham un se aaj kaa shikva kareinge
ukhaaDeinge vo barson ki gaDi baat

na aashiq hain zamaane mein na maashuq
idhar ham rah gae hain aur udhar aap

baat karne mein honT laDte hain
aise takraar kaa khudaa-haafiz

dard ko gurda taDapne ko jigar
hijr mein sab hain magar dil to nahin

dafn ham ho chuke to kahte hain
is gunahgaar kaa khudaa-haafiz

ek do tiin chaar paanch chhe saat
yunhi gin leinge kam ke kyaa maani

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

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

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh
