mujh ko mast-e-sharaab honaa thaa — Jigar Moradabadi

ik lafz-e-mohabbat kaa adnaa ye fasaanaa hai
simTe to dil-e-aashiq phaile to zamaana hai

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

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

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

un kaa jo farz hai vo ahl-e-siyaasat jaanein
meraa paighaam mohabbat hai jahaan tak pahunche

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

ruuh kis mast ki pyaasi gai mai-khaane se
mai uDi jaati hai saaqi tire paimaane se

is havaa mein kar rahe hain ham tiraa hi intizaar
aa kahin jaldi se saaqi shisha o saaghar samet

vo dard huun koi chaara nahin hai jis kaa kahin
vo zakhm huun ki hai dushvaar indimaal miraa

dukhtar-e-raz ne diye chhinTe kuchh aise saaqiyaa
paani paani ho gai tauba har ik mai-khvaar ki
