jab sadaa suur ki gunjegi zamaane-bhar mein — Moid Rahbar Lakhnavi

jab saamne nazar ke ho ik husn-e-be-panaah
aise mein khud ko hosh mein rakhnaa kamaal hai

zer-e-asar nahin hai kisi rahnumaa ke ham
maalik isi liye hain khud apni razaa ke ham

zindagi tu mujhe kis moD pe le aai hai
kyaa koi aur bhi guzraa hai idhar se pahle

raho ghar mein ziyaada to safar aavaaz detaa hai
safar mein jab nikal jaao to ghar aavaaz detaa hai

dil hi TuuTaa ho kuchh ajab to nahin
ashk aankhon mein be-sabab to nahin

anjaam-e-hijr kyaa hai ye tum khud hi dekh lo
ham intizaar-e-yaar mein patthar ke ho gae

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

raatein aish-o-ishrat ki din dukh dard musibat ke
aati aati aati hain jaate jaate jaate hain

tere baare mein jab sochaa nahin thaa
main tanhaa thaa magar itnaa nahin thaa
