kholaa darvaaza samajh kar mujh ko ghair — 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

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

is qadar musalsal thiin shiddatein judaai ki
aaj pahli baar us se main ne bevafaai ki

yaar main itnaa bhukaa huun
dhokaa bhi khaa letaa huun

ek parda saa hai fareb-e-nazar
ye bhi uTThe to dekhnaa kyaa hai

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

zarbul-masal hai hote hain maashuq be-vafaa
ye kuchh tumhaaraa zikr nahin hai khafaa na ho
