facebōk hi aaj-kal chaupaal hai — Shaukat Jamal

chaahte to the mire aghyaar tu paidaa na ho
phir bhi ye himmat hai teri tu agar paidaa huaa

bolin ki kaam karne ki khugar nahin huun main
biivi huun aap ki koi shauhar nahin huun main

pi gai thi ghol kar 'aazaad' ki aab-e-hayaat
tab kahin ghar mein mire tujh saa pisar paidaa huaa

saaqi kaa aur sharaab kaa ho zikr baar baar
zaahid ko bhuul kar na kabhi paarsaa likhein

khaanaa khulne kaa hi elaan agar farmaa dein
ham ye samjheinge ki taqrir-e-sadaarat bakhshi

mumkin nahin ghazab se bachein ham janaab ke
baalishtiyon ko bhi na agar sarv saa likhein

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

naaseh ki nasihat se hai zid aur bhi dil ko
suntaa nahin hoshyaar ki divaana hamaaraa

itnaa hairaan na ho meri anaa par pyaare
ishq mein bhi kai khuddaar nikal aate hain

hamin se ajnabi lahje mein baat karti hai
hamaare ghar ki hamaare dayaar ki miTTi

ham ajnabi hain aaj bhi apne dayaar mein
har shakhs puchhtaa hai yahi tum yahaan kahaan

hai shaam-e-avadh gesu-e-dildaar kaa partav
aur subh-e-banaras hai rukh-e-yaar kaa partav
