dosti ishq aur vafaadaari — Sheen Kaaf Nizam

vahshat to sang-o-khisht ki tartib le gai
ab fikr ye hai dasht ki vusat bhi le na jaae

nikle kabhi na ghar se magar is ke baavajud
apni tamaam umr safar mein guzar gai

darvaaza koi ghar se nikalne ke liye de
be-khauf koi raasta chalne ke liye de

chubhan ye piiTh mein kaisi hai muD ke dekh to le
kahin koi tujhe pichhe se dekhtaa hogaa

gali ke moD se ghar tak andheraa kyuun hai 'nizaam'
charaagh yaad kaa us ne bujhaa diyaa hogaa

udaasi akele mein Dar jaaegi
ghaDi-do-ghaDi ko khushi bhej de

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

us se yahi kahtaa huun vaajib ehtiraam-e-ishq hai
andar se ye khvaahish hai vo jaisaa kahe vaisaa karun

majnun milaa to puchhtaa thaa dasht-e-‘ishq mein
ab suntaa vaan hai mere fasaane bhi koi kyaa

yaa to khud ko sipurd-e-'ishq na kar
yaa jo hotaa hai phir malaal na puchh

makaan-e-dil se rukhsat ho gayaa 'ishq
udaasi lauT kar tu ghar chali aa
