dil-e-sad-chaak miraa raah yahaan kab paae — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

ai khizaan bhaag jaa chaman se shitaab
varna fauj-e-bahaar aave hai

kabhu bimaar sun kar vo ayaadat ko to aataa thaa
hamein apne bhale hone se vo aazaar behtar thaa

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

bul-havas go karein tere lab-e-shirin par hujum
talkh mat ho ki miThaai se magas aati hai

meraa maashuq hai mazon mein bharaa
kabhu miThaa kabhu salonaa hai

sau baar taar taar kiyaa to bhi ab talak
saabit vahi hai dast o garebaan ki dosti

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

naa-karda gunaahon ki bhi hasrat ki mile daad
yaa rab agar in karda gunaahon ki sazaa hai

ik sadaa ki surat ham is havaa mein zinda hain
ham jo raushni hote ham pe bhi jhapaTti raat

jin ki hasrat mein dil-e-rusvaa ne gham khaae bahut
sang ham par in darichon ne hi barsaae bahut
