ek muddat mein baDhaayaa tu ne rabt — Sardar Ganda Singh Mashriqi

ai shaikh apnaa jubba-e-aqdas sambhaaliye
mast aa rahe hain chaak garebaan kiye hue

maza dekhaa kisi ko ai pari-ru munh lagaane kaa
ab aaina bhi kahtaa hai ki main madd-e-muqaabil huun

phaaD kar khat us ne qaasid se kahaa
koi paighaam-e-zabaani aur hai

shaikh chal tu sharaab-khaane mein
main tujhe aadmi banaa dungaa

tum jaao raqibon kaa karo koi mudaavaa
ham aap bhugat leinge ki jo ham pe bani hai

aage mere na tikhi maar ai shaikh
raat kaa maajraa sunaa dungaa

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

jab talak shisha rahaa main baar-haa toDaa gayaa
ban gayaa patthar to sab ne devtaa maanaa mujhe

vahaan hamaaraa koi muntazir nahin phir bhi
hamein na rok ki ghar jaanaa chaahte hain ham

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

ghurur bhi jo karun main to aajizi ho jaae
khudi mein lutf vo aae ki be-khudi ho jaae
