bosa jo rukh kaa dete nahin lab kaa dijiye — Shaikh Ibrahim Zauq

'zauq' jo madrase ke bigDe hue hain mullaa
un ko mai-khaane mein le aao sanvar jaaeinge

ek aansu ne Duboyaa mujh ko un ki bazm mein
buund bhar paani se saari aabru paani hui

maalum jo hotaa hamein anjaam-e-mohabbat
lete na kabhi bhuul ke ham naam-e-mohabaat

behtar to hai yahi ki na duniyaa se dil lage
par kyaa karein jo kaam na be-dil-lagi chale

naaz hai gul ko nazaakat pe chaman mein ai 'zauq'
us ne dekhe hi nahin naaz-o-nazaakat vaale

in dinon garche dakan mein hai baDi qadr-e-sukhan
kaun jaae 'zauq' par dilli ki galiyaan chhoD kar

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

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

ham ne ye maanaa ki paidaa ho gayaa khaaegaa kyaa
ghar mein daane hi na paaegaa to bhunvaaegaa kyaa

log kahte hain dil lagaanaa jise
rog vo bhi lagaa ke dekh liyaa

nashtar-e-'mir' hain tiri baatein
phuljhaDi-vuljhaDi nahin jaanaan

hashr tak be-gunahi naaz karegi mujh par
vo miraa teri nigaahon mein buraa ho jaanaa
