aql mein yuun to nahin koi kami — Firaq Gorakhpuri

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein

kam se kam maut se aisi mujhe ummid nahin
zindagi tu ne to dhoke pe diyaa hai dhoka

bahut dinon mein mohabbat ko ye huaa maalum
jo tere hijr mein guzri vo raat raat hui

kisi kaa yuun to huaa kaun umr bhar phir bhi
ye husn o ishq to dhokaa hai sab magar phir bhi

jo uljhi thi kabhi aadam ke haathon
vo gutthi aaj tak suljhaa rahaa huun

chhuT ke ghar aa gae asiir tire
lekin ab in ko kaun pahchaane

jinhein ye fikr nahin sar rahe rahe na rahe
vo sach hi kahte hain jab bolne pe aate hain

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

us ko sochun to dhyaan mein mere
khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki

maango samundaron se na saahil ki bhiik tum
haan fikr o fan ke vaaste gahraai maang lo

sunaa hai vo mire baare mein sochtaa hai bahut
khabar to hai hi magar mo'tabar zyaada nahin

bagulaa jin ke sar par chatr-e-shaahi hai zamin masnad
vahi aqlim-e-gham mein aah ki naubat bajaate hain
