qaazi ko jo rind kuchh chaTaa dein — Imdad Ali Bahr

khush raho yaar agar ham se ho bezaar bahut
dil agar apnaa salaamat hai to dildaar bahut

mire qatl par tum ne biiDaa uThaayaa
mire haath kaa paan khaayaa to hotaa

ham na kahte the hansi achchhi nahin
aa gai aakhir rukaavaT dekhiye

mire baghair na ik-dam use qaraar aataa
zaraa bhi zabt jo mujh be-qaraar mein hotaa

na mohabbat hai dilon mein na hayaa aankhon mein
ye sanam tu ne banaae hain khudaayaa kaise

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

alag baiThe the phir bhi aankh saaqi ki paDi ham par
agar hai tishnagi kaamil to paimaane bhi aaeinge

mujhe ye fikr sab ki pyaas apni pyaas hai saaqi
tujhe ye zid ki khaali hai miraa paimaana barson se

fareb-e-saaqi-e-mahfil na puchhiye 'majruh'
sharaab ek hai badle hue hain paimaane

baDhaai mai jo mohabbat se aaj saaqi ne
ye kaanpe haath ki saaghar bhi ham uThaa na sake
