chashm-e-tar ne bahaa ke ju-e-sarishk — Shad Lakhnavi

lagaa ke ThaT hai har suunaa muraadi
tamannaa-e-dili nikle kidhar se

khudaa kaa Dar na hotaa gar bashar ko
khudaa jaane ye banda kyaa na kartaa

visaal-e-yaar se duunaa huaa ishq
maraz baDhtaa gayaa juun juun davaa ki

na taDapne ki ijaazat hai na fariyaad ki hai
ghuT ke mar jaaun ye marzi mire sayyaad ki hai

javaani se ziyaada vaqt-e-piri josh hotaa hai
bhaDaktaa hai charaagh-e-subh jab khaamosh hotaa hai

ham na bigDeinge agar chasm-numaai hogi
phir kahin aankh laDaai to laDaai hogi

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

maarka garm to ho lene do khun-rezi kaa
pahle shamshir ke niche hamin jaa baiTheinge
