aabla-paai hamaari rang laai dasht mein — Sher Singh Naaz Dehlvi

bal paDe chitvan pe abru tan ke khanjar ho gae
zikr-e-vasl aate hi vo jaame se baahar ho gae

ro diye fariyaad par meri butaan-e-sang-dil
mere naalon se pighal kar mom patthar ho gae

nigah-e-lutf mein hai uqda-kushaai muzmar
kaam bigDe hue bandon ke sanvar jaate hain

chuum kar aayaa hai ye dast-e-hinaai aap kaa
kyuun na rakkhun main kaleje se lagaa kar tiir ko

baaton mein DhunDte hain vo pahlu malaal kaa
matlab ye hai ki zikr na aae visaal kaa

ik bahaana chaahiye un ko bigaDne ke liye
main ne zulfon ki balaaein liin mire sar ho gae

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

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

bas ek pal ki tamannaa-e-vasl ki khaatir
tamaam 'umr lagaa di gai sanvarne mein
