pech khaa khaa kar hamaari aah mein girhein paDin — Siraj Aurangabadi

dekhaa hai jis ne yaar ke rukhsaar ki taraf
hargiz na jaave sair kuun gulzaar ki taraf

boltaa huun jo vo bulaataa hai
tan ke pinjre mein us kaa totaa huun

vaqt hai ab namaaz-e-maghrib kaa
chaand rukh lab shafaq hai gesu shaam

tahqiq ki nazar siin aakhir kuun ham ne dekhaa
akasr hain maal vaale kam hain kamaal vaale

masjid vahshat mein paDhtaa hai taraavih-e-junun
mushaf husn-e-pari-rukhsaar jis kuun yaad hai

vo ajab ghaDi thi main jis ghaDi liyaa dars nuskha-e-ishq kaa
ki kitaab aql ki taaq par juun dhari thi tyuun hi dhari rahi

kam-umri mein sunet hain
mar jaate hain achchhe log

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

zindagi tu bhi hamein vaise hi ik roz guzaar
jis tarah ham tujhe barson se guzaare hue hain

dil ki khalish to saath rahegi tamaam umr
dariyaa-e-gham ke paar utar jaaein ham to kyaa

hayaat aaj bhi kaniz hai huzur-e-jabr mein
jo zindagi ko jiit le vo zindagi kaa mard hai

apne haathon se zahr mat diije
ye kahin zindagi na ban jaae
