kaam tujh se abhi to saaqi hai — Syed Mohammad Meer Asar

kin ne kahaa aur se na mil tu
par ham se bhi kabhu milaa kar

kyaa kahun kis tarah se jiitaa huun
gham ko khaataa huun aansu piitaa huun

bevafaa kuchh nahin teri taqsir
mujh ko meri vafaa hi raas nahin

apne nazdik dard-e-dil main kahaa
tere nazdik qissa-khvaani ki

tu hi behtar hai aaina ham se
ham to itne bhi ru-shanaas nahin

jis ghaDi ghurte ho ghussa se
nikle paDtaa hai pyaar aankhon mein

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

koi puraanaa khat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad
zakhmon par vo lamhe marham hote hain

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

jaam-ba-dast-o-mai-ba-jaam yuun hi guzaar subh-o-shaam
ziist ki talkhiyaan mudaam pi ke pilaa ke bhuul jaa

in se jab puchhaa gayaa bismil tumhaare kyaa karein
hans ke bole zakhm-e-dil dekhaa karein royaa karein
