phir mujhe le chalaa udhar dekho — 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

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

naujavaani mein paarsaa honaa
kaisaa kaar-e-zabun hai pyaare

zindagi kis tarah basar hogi
dil nahin lag rahaa mohabbat mein
