chale chaliye ki chalnaa hi dalil-e-kaamraani hai — Hafeez Banarasi

ye kis maqaam pe laai hai zindagi ham ko
hansi labon pe hai siine mein gham kaa daftar hai

us se baDh kar kiyaa milegaa aur inaam-e-junun
ab to vo bhi kah rahe hain apnaa divaana mujhe

sabhi ke diip sundar hain hamaare kyaa tumhaare kyaa
ujaalaa har taraf hai is kinaare us kinaare kyaa

kuchh is ke sanvar jaane ki tadbir nahin hai
duniyaa hai tiri zulf-e-girah-gir nahin hai

dushmanon ki jafaa kaa khauf nahin
doston ki vafaa se Darte hain

vo baat 'hafiz' ab nahin milti kisi shai mein
jalvon mein kami hai ki nigaahon mein kami hai

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi
