baad farhaad ke phir koh-kani main ne ki — Haidar Ali Aatish

ye aarzu thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte
ham aur bulbul-e-betaab guftugu karte

uTh gai hain saamne se kaisi kaisi suratein
roiye kis ke liye kis kis kaa maatam kijiye

ajab teri hai ai mahbub surat
nazar se gir gae sab khubsurat

us gul-badan ki bu-e-badan kuchh na puchhiye
band-e-qabaa jo khol diye ghar mahak gayaa

na paak hogaa kabhi husn o ishq kaa jhagDaa
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kaa koi gavaah nahin

main us gulshan kaa bulbul huun bahaar aane nahin paati
ki sayyaad aan kar meraa gulistaan mol lete hain
