na rakkhaa jag mein rasm-e-dosti andoh-rozi ne — Mohammad Rafi Sauda

firaaq-e-khuld se gandum hai sina-chaak ab tak
ilaahi ho na vatan se koi gharib judaa

kis munh se phir tu aap ko kahtaa hai ishq-baaz
ai ru-siyaah tujh se to ye bhi na ho sakaa

'saudaa' se shakhs ke taiin aazurda kijiye
ai khud-parast haif nahin tu vafaa-parast

ishq se to nahin huun main vaaqif
dil ko shoala saa kuchh lipaTtaa hai

ve suratein ilaahi kis mulk bastiyaan hain
ab dekhne ko jin ke aankhein tarastiyaan hain

ammaame ko utaar ke paDhiyo namaaz shaikh
sajde se varna sar ko uThaayaa na jaaegaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost
