le chalaa jaan miri ruuTh ke jaanaa teraa — Dagh Dehlvi

hazrat-e-'daagh' hai ye kucha-e-qaatil uThiye
jis jagah baiThte hain aap to jam jaate hain

dil hi to hai na aae kyuun dam hi to hai na jaae kyuun
ham ko khudaa jo sabr de tujh saa hasin banaae kyuun

baad muddat ke ye ai 'daagh' samajh mein aayaa
vahi daanaa hai kahaa jis ne na maanaa dil kaa

na ronaa hai tariqe kaa na hansnaa hai saliqe kaa
pareshaani mein koi kaam ji se ho nahin saktaa

sar miraa kaaT ke pachhtaaiyegaa
jhuTi phir kis ki qasam khaaiyegaa

kal tak to aashnaa the magar aaj ghair ho
do din mein ye mizaaj hai aage ki khair ho

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

vo kuchh muskuraanaa vo kuchh jheinp jaanaa
javaani adaaein sikhaati hain kyaa kyaa

daulat nahin kaam aati jo taqdir buri ho
qaarun ko bhi apnaa khazaanaa nahin miltaa

khud hi jaane lage the aur khud hi
raasta rok kar khaDe hue hain

aql kahti hai dobaara aazmaanaa jahl hai
dil ye kahtaa hai fareb-e-dost khaate jaaiye
