bikherte raho sahraa mein biij ulfat ke — Jameeluddin Aali

jaise saahil se chhuDaa leti hain maujein daaman
kitnaa saada hai tiraa mujh se gurezaan honaa

na tire sivaa koi likh sake na mire sivaa koi paDh sake
ye huruf-e-be-varaq-o-sabaq hamein kyaa zabaan sikhaa gae

kuchh chhoTe chhoTe dukh apne kuchh dukh apne azizon ke
in se hi jivan bantaa hai so jivan ban jaaegaa

tere khayaal ke divaar-o-dar banaate hain
ham apne ghar mein bhi teraa hi ghar banaate hain

ek ajiib raag hai ek ajiib guftugu
saat suron ki aag hai aaThvin sur ki justuju

jaane kyuun logon ki nazrein tujh tak pahunchin ham ne to
barson baa'd ghazal ki rau mein ik mazmun nikaalaa thaa

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

saamne us ke na kahte magar ab kahte hain
lazzat-e-ishq gai ghair ke mar jaane se
