naaz be-jaa o lutf be-mauqaa — Tek Chand Bahar

vahi ik aasmaan hai jis ko ham tum taar kahte hain
kabhi tasbih kahte hain kabhi zunnaar kahte hain

kahte hain andalib-e-giraftaar mujh ko dekh
ummid jivne ki nahin is bahaar mein

hamein vaaiz Daraataa kyuun hai dozakh ke azaabon se
maaasi go hamaare besh hon kuchh maghfirat kam hai

nahin maalum kyaa hikmat hai shaikh is aafrinash ki
hamein aisaa kharaabaati kiyaa tujh ko munaajaati

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi
