hamaari aql-e-be-tadbir par tadbir hansti hai — 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

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

qulzum-e-fikr mein hai kashti-e-imaan saalim
naa-khudaa husn hai aur ishq hai langar apnaa

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

us ke rukhsaar pe hai aur tire honT pe til
tilmilaane ki ijaazat nahin di jaaegi
