jin hauslon se meraa junun mutmain na thaa — Ali Jawad Zaidi

ye dushmani hai saaqi yaa dosti hai saaqi
auron ko jaam denaa mujh ko dikhaa dikhaa ke

guftugu ke khatm ho jaane par aayaa ye khayaal
jo zabaan tak aa nahin paayaa vahi to dil mein thaa

lazzat-e-dard mili ishrat-e-ehsaas mili
kaun kahtaa hai ham us bazm se naakaam aae

ab dard mein vo kaifiyat-e-dard nahin hai
aayaa huun jo us bazm-e-gul-afshaan se guzar ke

dil kaa lahu nigaah se Tapkaa hai baar-haa
ham raah-e-gham mein aisi bhi manzil se aae hain

jab kabhi dekhaa hai ai 'zaidi' nigaah-e-ghaur se
har haqiqat mein mile hain chand afsaane mujhe

zindagi phaili hui thi shaam-e-hijraan ki tarah
kis ko itnaa hausla thaa kaun ji kar dekhtaa

jazba-e-be-ikhtiyaar-e-shauq dekhaa chaahiye
sina-e-shamshir se baahar hai dam shamshir kaa

raat kitni guzar gai lekin
itni himmat nahin ki ghar jaaein

aap ko kho ke tum ko DhunDh liyaa
hausla thaa ye mere hi dil kaa

ruk jaa hujum-e-gul ki abhi hausla nahin
dil se khayaal-e-tangi-e-daamaan gayaa nahin

himmat hai to buland kar aavaaz kaa alam
chup baiThne se hal nahin hone kaa masala
