Tapakte hain shab-e-gham dil ke TukDe dida-e-tar se — Jaleel Manikpuri

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

vo haath un ke chumti hai main huun paaemaal
ye hain mire nasib vo qismat hinaa ki hai

pesh-khema hain qayaamat kaa yahi do fitne
baaDh par qad hai taraqqi pe hai jauban teraa

be-hijaabi jo sahi hai tiri shokh aankhon ki
rasm parde ki uThegi isi ghar se pahle

sitam hai sitam kaaba-e-dil kaa Dhaanaa
ye kyaa kar rahe ho ye kyaa ho rahaa hai

sote mein vo jo mujh se ham-aaghosh ho gae
jitne gile the khvaab-e-faraamosh ho gae

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

nur-e-sahar kahaan hai agar shaam-e-gham gai
kab iltifaat thaa ki jo khu-e-sitam gai

hamaare she'r naghme aur sajde
adaa jo ho na paae kyaa hue vo

ek aansu ne Duboyaa mujh ko un ki bazm mein
buund bhar paani se saari aabru paani hui
