agar baiThaa hi naaseh munh ko si baiTh — Abdul Rahman Ehsan Dehlvi

namaaz apni agarche kabhi qazaa na hui
adaa kisi ki jo dekhi to phir adaa na hui

gale se lagte hi jitne gile the bhuul gae
vagarna yaad thiin ham ko shikaayatein kyaa kyaa

dil-rubaa tujh saa jo dil lene mein ayyaari kare
phir koi dilli mein kyaa dil ki khabardaari kare

aag is dil-lagi ko lag jaae
dil-lagi aag phir lagaane lagi

ba-vaqt-e-bosa-e-lab kaash ye dil kaamraan hotaa
zabaan us bad-zabaan ki munh mein aur main zabaan hotaa

mai-kade mein ishq ke kuchh sarsari jaanaa nahin
kaasa-e-sar ko yahaan gardish hai paimaane ki tarah
