rone pe agar aauun to dariyaa ko Dubo duun — 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

miri is chashm-e-tar se abr-e-baaraan ko hai kyaa nisbat
ki vo dariyaa kaa paani aur ye khun-e-dil hai barsaati

sab ummidein mire aashob-e-tamannaa tak thiin
bastiyaan ho gaiin gharqaab to dariyaa utraa

chaand hai paani mein yaa bhule hue chehre kaa aks
saahil-e-dariyaa pe dekho main bhi hairaani mein huun

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

husn-e-aaraasta qudrat kaa atiyya hai magar
kyaa miraa ishq-e-jigar-soz khudaa-daad nahin

tah mein dariyaa-e-mohabbat ke thi kyaa chiiz 'aziz'
jo koi Duub gayaa us ko ubharne na diyaa
