phir chheDaa 'hasan' ne apnaa qissa — Meer Hasan

dosti kis se na thi kis se mujhe pyaar na thaa
jab bure vaqt pe dekhaa to koi yaar na thaa

jo koi aave hai nazdik hi baiThe hai tire
ham kahaan tak tire pahlu se sarakte jaavein

aasaan na samajhiyo tum nakhvat se paak honaa
ik umr kho ke ham ne sikhaa hai khaak honaa

aashnaa bevafaa nahin hotaa
bevafaa aashnaa nahin hotaa

itne aansu to na the dida-e-tar ke aage
ab to paani hi bharaa rahtaa hai ghar ke aage

sadaa aish dauraan dikhaataa nahin
gayaa vaqt phir haath aataa nahin

har ek shaakh pe viraaniyaan musallat hain
badan-darakht bhi goyaa hai aashiyaan-e-shab

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

aisi duniyaa mein kab tak guzaaraa karein tum hi kah do ki kaise gavaaraa karein
raat mujh se miri bebasi ne kahaa bebasi ke liye ek taaza ghazal

rok do ye raushni ki tez dhaar
meri miTTi mein gundhi hai raat bhi

baarish ke baa'd raat saDak aaina si thi
ik paanv paaniyon pe paDaa chaand hil gayaa

aaj phir bujh gae jal jal ke umidon ke charaagh
aaj phir taaron bhari raat ne dam toD diyaa
