shartein lagaai jaati nahin dosti ke saath — Waseem Barelvi

ham ye to nahin kahte ki ham tujh se baDe hain
lekin ye bahut hai ki tire saath khaDe hain

tahrir se varna miri kyaa ho nahin saktaa
ik tu hai jo lafzon mein adaa ho nahin saktaa

raat to vaqt ki paaband hai Dhal jaaegi
dekhnaa ye hai charaaghon kaa safar kitnaa hai

bhare makaan kaa bhi apnaa nasha hai kyaa jaane
sharaab-khaane mein raatein guzaarne vaalaa

usulon par jahaan aanch aae Takraanaa zaruri hai
jo zinda ho to phir zinda nazar aanaa zaruri hai

hamaare ghar kaa pataa puchhne se kyaa haasil
udaasiyon ki koi shahriyat nahin hoti

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

zindagi sundar ghazal hai dosto
zindagi ko gungunaanaa chaahiye

vo habib ho ki rahbar vo raqib ho ki rahzan
jo dayaar-e-dil se guzre use ham-kalaam kar lo

tazkire mein tire ik naam ko yuun joD diyaa
doston ne mujhe shishe ki tarah toD diyaa

ham ko yaaron ne yaad bhi na rakhaa
'jaun' yaaron ke yaar the ham to

idhar aa ham dikhaate hain ghazal kaa aaina tujh ko
ye kis ne kah diyaa gesu tire barham nahin pyaare
