siine mein mire daagh-e-gham-e-ishq-e-nabi hai — Wahshat Raza Ali Kalkatvi

zaalim ki to aadat hai sataataa hi rahegaa
apni bhi tabiat hai bahalti hi rahegi

kis tarah husn-e-zabaan ki ho taraqqi 'vahshat'
main agar khidmat-e-urdu-e-muallaa na karun

abhi hote agar duniyaa mein 'daagh'-e-dehlavi zinda
to vo sab ko bataa dete hai 'vahshat' ki zabaan kaisi

qadrdaani ki kaifiyat maalum
aib kyaa hai agar hunar na huaa

dil ko ham kab tak bachaae rakhte har aaseb se
Thes aakhir lag gai shishe mein baal aa hi gayaa

thaa qafas kaa khayaal daaman-gir
uD sake ham na baal o par le kar

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ye vaqfa saaaton kaa chand sadiyon ke baraabar hai
vo ab aavaaz dete hain to pahchaani nahin jaati

guzar rahi hai jo dil par vahi haqiqat hai
gham-e-jahaan kaa fasaana gham-e-hayaat se puchh

ishq ki fitrat ne yuun badlaa mazaaq-e-zindagi
jitne gham baDhne lage utni khushi hone lagi
