miri rudaad-e-gham vo sun rahe hain — Jigar Moradabadi

aadat ke baa'd dard bhi dene lagaa mazaa
hans hans ke aah aah kiye jaa rahaa huun main

meri nigaah-e-shauq bhi kuchh kam nahin magar
phir bhi tiraa shabaab tiraa hi shabaab hai

vo nazron hi nazron mein savaalaat ki duniyaa
vo aankhon hi aankhon mein javaabaat kaa aalam

nigaah-e-shauq ne mahshar mein saaf taaD liyaa
kahaan vo chhupte ki aankhon mein the samaae hue

ham kahin aate hain vaaiz tire bahkaane mein
isi maikhaane ki miTTi isi maikhaane mein

aatish-e-ishq vo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazaare hain

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

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

ye saal tul-e-masaafat se chuur chuur gayaa
ye ek saal to guzraa hai ik sadi ki tarah

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai
