har subh nikalnaa kisi divaar-e-tarab se — Sarvat Husain

saya-e-abr se puchho 'sarvat'
apne hamraah agar le jaae

shahzaadi tujhe kaun bataae tere charaag-kade tak
kitni mehraabein paDti hain kitne dar aate hain

kyuun girafta-dil nazar aati hai ai shaam-e-firaaq
ham jo tere naaz uThaane ke liye maujud hain

ik daastaan ab bhi sunaate hain farsh o baam
vo kaun thi jo raqs ke aalam mein mar gai

kyaa khabar kaun nagar le jaae

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