mudallal jo sukhan apnaa hai vo burhaan-e-qaatea hai — Asad Ali Khan Qalaq

ai be-khudi-e-dil mujhe ye bhi khabar nahin
kis din bahaar aai main divaana kab huaa

adaa se dekh lo jaataa rahe gila dil kaa
bas ik nigaah pe Thahraa hai faisla dil kaa

sindur us ki maang mein detaa hai yuun bahaar
jaise dhanak nikalti hai abr-e-siyaah mein

phir mujh se is tarah ki na kijegaa dil-lagi
khair is ghaDi to aap kaa main kar gayaa lihaaz

tilaai rang jaanaan kaa agar mazmun likhun khat mein
to haala gird harfon ke bane sone ke paani kaa

yuun ruuh thi adam mein miri bahr-e-tan udaas
ghurbat mein jis tarah ho gharib-ul-vatan udaas

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi
