pir-e-mughaan se ham ko koi bair to nahin — Abdul Hamid Adam

saaqi mujhe sharaab ki tohmat nahin pasand
mujh ko tiri nigaah kaa ilzaam chaahiye

taklif miT gai magar ehsaas rah gayaa
khush huun ki kuchh na kuchh to mire paas rah gayaa

sirf ik qadam uThaa thaa ghalat raah-e-shauq mein
manzil tamaam umr mujhe DhunDhti rahi

kahte hain umr-e-rafta kabhi lauTti nahin
jaa mai-kade se meri javaani uThaa ke laa

jin se insaan ko pahunchti hai hamesha taklif
un kaa daavaa hai ki vo asl khudaa vaale hain

ai gham-e-zindagi na ho naaraaz
mujh ko aadat hai muskuraane ki
