yaar par ilzaam kaisaa ai dil-e-khaana-kharaab — 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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ulfat ne tiri ham ko to rakkhaa na kahin kaa
dariyaa kaa na jangal kaa samaa kaa na zamin kaa

khat-e-shikasta mein kyaa jaane kab kashid aa jaae
ki saans rok ke kariyo miyaan kitaabat-e-‘ishq

hamesha aag ke dariyaa mein ishq kyuun utre
kabhi to husn ko gharq-e-azaab honaa thaa

gham-e-hasti bhalaa kab mo'tabar ho
mohabbat mein na jab tak aankh tar ho
