ghanimat buujh levein mere dard-aalud naalon ko — Wali Uzlat

tiri vahshat ki sarsar se uDaa juun paat aandhi kaa
miraa dil haath se khoyaa to tere haath kyaa aayaa

jaave thi jaasusi-e-majnun ko taa raahat na le
varna kab lailaa ko thaa sahraa mein jaane kaa dimaagh

ishq gore husn kaa aashiq ke dil ko de jalaa
saanvlon ke aashiqon kaa dil hai kaalaa koelaa

main sahraa jaa ke qabr-e-hazrat-e-majnun ko dekhaa thaa
ziyaarat karte the aahu bagula tauf kartaa thaa

jaa kar fanaa ke us taraf aasuda main huaa
main aalam-e-adam mein bhi dekhaa maza na thaa

vo pal mein jal-bujhaa aur ye tamaam raat jalaa
hazaar baar patinge se hai charaagh bhalaa

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

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

dasht ki naa-tamaam raahon par
koi saathi hai to shajar tanhaa

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain
