Shayari Of Shahab Lakhnavi

dayār-e-ġhair meñ luTte to koī baat na thī
luTe vatan meñ to sadma huā na jaane kyuuñ

sāmne mohabbat ke hech hai siyāsat bhī
jab dimāġh thak jaa.e dil se kaam le ai dost

karo gunāh-e-mohabbat tamām umr 'shahāb'
ḳhudā kī dī huī ne.amat butoñ ke kaam aa.e

aur baḌhte to ḳhudā.ī kā bhī da.ave karte
ḳhair guzrī ki ye but rah ga.e but-ḳhāne meñ

nāla-e-bulbul se ġhunchoñ ke kaleje phaT ga.e
gulsitāñ vaale samajhte haiñ ki gul ḳhandāñ hue

mai-ḳhāna-e-hastī meñ muflis kī javānī kyā
ik laġhzish-e-mastāna do-chār qadam jaise

kaun ehsān-e-nā-ḳhudā.ī le
is se behtar to Duub jaanā hai
