kis ko bahlaate ho shishe kaa gulu TuuT gayaa — Mirza Ali Lutf

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

gul kiyaa jis ne vo thaa aur magar
shama ne shikva havaaon se kiyaa

ai sanam tu vo kanhayyaa hai balaaein luun agar
baansuli ki tarah naalaan hon saraapaa ungliyaan

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

sayyaad teraa ghar mujhe jannat sahi magar
jannat se bhi sivaa mujhe raahat chaman mein thi
