tere jaane ke baad dekh zaraa — Haider Allahabadi

itni jaldi nahin bichhaDnaa thaa
jitni jaldi bichhaD gai ho tum

apne bistar pe dam na toD dein ham
teri baaton ko yaad kar kar ke

us ne kaisaa ye kaam kar Daalaa
meraa jiinaa haraam kar Daalaa

teraa chehra to dekh rakkhaa hai
had hai teri jabin nahin dekhi

kyon miraa intizaar karte ho
kis liye mujh se pyaar karte ho

chhat pe aai ho aaj barson baad
dekh kar chaand Dar na jaae kahin

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

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

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

jaane kyaa kah rahaa thaa vo mujh se
main ne bhi kah diyaa ki khush huun main

kal to is aalam-e-hasti se guzar jaanaa hai
aaj ki raat tiri bazm mein ham aur sahi
