jab khule naqd ke ausaaf ba-faiz-e-naqdi — Hasan Naim

gham se bikhraa na paaemaal huaa
main to gham se hi be-misaal huaa

jo bhi kahnaa hai kaho saaf shikaayat hi sahi
in ishaaraat-o-kinaayaat se ji Dartaa hai

gard-e-shohrat ko bhi daaman se lipaTne na diyaa
koi ehsaan zamaane kaa uThaayaa hi nahin

saraa-e-dil mein jagah de to kaaT luun ik raat
nahin hai shart ki mujh ko sharik-e-khvaab banaa

ai sabaa main bhi thaa aashufta-saron mein yaktaa
puchhnaa dilli ki galiyon se miraa naam kabhi

kuchh usulon kaa nasha thaa kuchh muqaddas khvaab the
har zamaane mein shahaadat ke yahi asbaab the
