vo khat vo chehra vo zulf-e-siyaah to dekho — Aasi Ghazipuri

subh tak vo bhi na chhoDi tu ne ai baad-e-sabaa
yaadgaar-e-raunaq-e-mahfil thi parvaane ki khaak

itnaa to jaante hain ki aashiq fanaa huaa
aur us se aage baDh ke khudaa jaane kyaa huaa

vo yahaan tak jo aa nahin sakte
kyaa mujhe bhi bulaa nahin sakte

lab-e-naazuk ke bose luun to missi munh banaati hai
kaf-e-paa ko agar chumun to mehndi rang laati hai

bimaar-e-gham ki chaaragari kuchh zarur hai
vo dard dil mein de ki masihaa kahein jise

kis ko dekhaa un ki surat dekh kar
ji mein aataa hai ki sajda kijiye

kaash sotaa hi rahun main ki nahin chaahtaa dil
har sahar uTh ke rukh-e-gabr-o-musalmaan dekhun

aati hai yaad subh-e-masarrat ki baar baar
khurshid aate aate use kal uThaa to laa

ham siin maston ko bas hai teri nigaah
subh uTh kar khumaar ki khaatir

main kyaa jaanun qalaq kyaa chiiz hai par itnaa jaanun huun
mile hai dil ko pahlu mein mire shaam o sahar koi

ik ham ki ham ko subh se hai shaam ki khushi
ik tum ki tum ko shaam kaa dhaDkaa sahar se hai

niind aati nahin to subah talak
gard-e-mahtaab kaa safar dekho
