sar kuun apne qadam banaa kar ke — Abroo Shah Mubarak

jaltaa hai ab talak tiri zulfon ke rashk se
har-chand ho gayaa hai chaman kaa charaagh gul

gham siin ahl-e-bait ke ji to tiraa kuDhtaa nahin
yuun abas paDhtaa phiraa jo marsiya to kyaa huaa

kyaa sabab tere badan ke garm hone kaa sajan
aashiqon mein kaun jaltaa thaa gale kis ke lagaa

yuun 'aabru' banaave dil mein hazaar baatein
jab ru-ba-ru ho tere guftaar bhuul jaave

namkin goyaa kabaab hain phike sharaab ke
bosaa hai tujh labaan kaa maze-daar chaTpaTaa

afsos hai ki bakht hamaaraa ulaT gayaa
aataa to thaa pe dekh ke ham kuun palaT gayaa

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

kin manzilon luTe hain mohabbat ke qaafile
insaan zamin pe aaj gharib-ul-vatan saa hai

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost

yuun to maujud apne ghar mein hai
aadmi mustaqil safar mein hai

safar mein aise kai marhale bhi aate hain
har ek moD pe kuchh log chhuT jaate hain
