der tak zabt-e-sukhan kal us mein aur ham mein rahaa — Mirza Ali Lutf

aaj kyaa jaane vo kyuun aaraam-e-jaan aayaa nahin
harf-e-ranjish kal to koi darmiyaan aayaa nahin

— Mirza Ali Lutf

yahi to kufr hai yaaraan-e-be-khudi ke huzur
jo kufr-o-din kaa mire yaar imtiyaaz rahaa

— Mirza Ali Lutf

khul gayaa ab ye ki vasl us kaa khayaal-e-khaam hai
aaj ummidon kaa dil hi dil mein qatl-e-aam hai

— Mirza Ali Lutf

na kar ai 'lutf' naahaq rahravaan-e-dair se hujjat
yahi rasta to khaa kar pher hai kaabe ko jaa niklaa

— Mirza Ali Lutf

kyaa sabab batlaaein hanste hanste baaham ruk gae
khud-bakhud kuchh vo khinche idhar udhar ham ruk gae

— Mirza Ali Lutf

huaa aavaara hindostaan se 'lutf' aage khudaa jaane
deccan ke saanvlon ne maaraa yaa inglan ke goron ne

— Mirza Ali Lutf
