'ghaalib' o 'mir' 'mushafi' — Firaq Gorakhpuri

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

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

main muddaton jiyaa huun kisi dost ke baghair
ab tum bhi saath chhoDne ko kah rahe ho khair

judaaiyaan to muqaddar hain phir bhi jaan-e-safar
kuchh aur duur zaraa saath chal ke dekhte hain

mire saare badan par duriyon ki khaak bikhri hai
tumhaare saath mil kar khud ko dhonaa chaahtaa huun main

vaqt-e-rukhsat nishaani jo talab ki to kahaa
daagh kaafi hai judaai kaa agar yaad rahe

daaman pe loTne lage gir gir ke tifl-e-ashk
roe firaaq mein to dil apnaa bahal gayaa

din judaai kaa diyaa vasl ki shab ke badle
lene the ai falak-e-pir ye kab ke badle

hijraton mein huzuriyon ke jatan
paanv ko duriyon ne gheraa hai
