ham chhanaalon ki chhoD di yaari — 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

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

ghash khaa ke 'daagh' yaar ke qadmon pe gir paDaa
behosh ne bhi kaam kiyaa hoshiyaar kaa

sahraa pe buraa vaqt mire yaar paDaa hai
divaana kai roz se bimaar paDaa hai

bahan kaa pyaar maan ki maamtaa do chikhti aankhein
yahi tohfe the vo jin ko main aksar yaad kartaa thaa

tiis din yaar ab na aaegaa
is mahine kaa naam khaali hai

koThe pe chehra-e-pur-nur dikhaayaa sar-e-shaam
yaar se rajat-e-khurshid kaa ejaaz huaa
