Zareef Jabalpuri

ye taraqqi kaa zamaana hai tire aashiq par
ungliyaan uThti thiin ab haath uThaa karte hain

'zarif' anjaam kyaa hogaa jo meraa dil bhi kho jaae
kahin aisaa na ho, mujh ko bhi filmi ishq ho jaae

bahut tang aa gae jab machchharon ki Dank-maari se
to sab shaaer taDap uTThe nihaayat be-qaraari se

kisi machchhar ne baDh kar hazrat-e-'makhmur' ko kaaTaa
khumaar utraa to chhaayaa aalam-e-hasti mein sannaaTaa
