kyaa dekhtaa hai haath miraa chhoD de tabib — 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

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

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

duniyaa gharib jaan ke hansti thi 'mir' par
'iqbaal' mujh pe aise ye duniyaa hansi ki bas

barsaat kaa baadal to divaana hai kyaa jaane
kis raah se bachnaa hai kis chhat ko bhigonaa hai

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa
