sar qalam karnaa thaa siine se lagaane vaale — Asad Bijnori Alig

jis bulandi se tu bhi na aae nazar
aisi shohrat ki ai maan du'aaein na de

ham pe ye raaz khulaa bhi to bahut der ke baa'd
asl kirdaar kahaani mein kisi aur kaa hai

paDe hain phike ye chaand taare bhi is ke aage
kahaan se laai ho tum ye husn-o-jamaal laDki

us kaa ham se baat karnaa yaad karnaa pyaar karnaa
ik ghalat-fahmi thi jo ab duur hoti jaa rahi hai

bulandiyon par zaraa takabbur se duur rahnaa
vagarna ye hi banegaa vajh-e-zavaal laDki

milaa hai husn to is par ghurur itnaa nahin achchhaa
milaa detaa hai miTTi mein khudaa maghrur chehron ko
