khaa ke gham khvaan-e-ishq ke mehmaan — Meer Hasan

rakhkhun kahaan main apne pari-zaad ko 'hasan'
shisha jo ek dil kaa mire hai so chuur hai

mat ponchh abru-e-araq-aalud haath se
laazim hai ehtiyaat ki hai aab-daar tegh

taaki ibrat karein aur ghair na dekhein tujh ko
ji mein aataa hai nikalvaaiye do-chaar ki aankh

guzri hai raat mujh mein aur dil mein turfa sohbat
idhar to main ne ki aah udhar se vo karaahaa

mat bakht-e-khufta par mire hans ai raqib tu
hogaa tire nasib bhi ye khvaab dekhnaa

na gharaz mujh ko hai kaafir se na din-daar se kaam
roz-o-shab hai mujhe us kaakul-e-khamdaar se kaam

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

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

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

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate
