chune the phuul muqaddar se ban gae kaanTe — Manzar Lakhnavi

vo to kahiye aap ki ulfat mein dil bahlaa rahaa
varna duniyaa chaar din bhi rahne ke qaabil na thi

muddaton baa'd kabhi ai nazar aane vaale
iid kaa chaand na dekhaa tiri surat dekhi

in se jab puchhaa gayaa bismil tumhaare kyaa karein
hans ke bole zakhm-e-dil dekhaa karein royaa karein

kisi aankh mein niind aae to jaanun
miraa qissa-e-gham kahaani nahin hai

daaman-o-jeb-o-garebaan kaa nahin koi malaal
gham ye hai dast-e-junun kal ke liye kaam nahin

kam-sini kyaa kam thi is par qahr hai shakki mizaaj
apnaa naavak mere dil se khinch kar dekhaa kiye

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai
