aahein bhi kiin duaaein bhi maangin tire liye — Lala Madhav Ram Jauhar

ai dost tujh ko rahm na aae to kyaa karun
dushman bhi mere haal pe ab aab-dida hai

apni zabaan se mujhe jo chaahe kah lein aap
baDh baDh ke bolnaa nahin achchhaa raqib kaa

jab kahte hain ham karte ho kyuun vaada-khilaafi
farmaate hain hans kar ye nai baat nahin hai

us ne phir kar bhi na dekhaa main use dekhaa kiyaa
de diyaa dil raah chalte ko ye main ne kyaa kiyaa

mal rahe hain vo apne ghar mehndi
ham yahaan eDiyaan ragaDte hain

vahi shaagird phir ho jaate hain ustaad ai 'jauhar'
jo apne jaan-o-dil se khidmat-e-ustaad karte hain

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

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

barseingi aaj rahmatein aamad hai yaar ki
naayaab hain ye ghaDiyaan tire intizaar ki

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

yaar bhi raah ki divaar samajhte hain mujhe
main samajhtaa thaa mire yaar samajhte hain mujhe

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