jo laDkhaDaae qadam mai-kade mein maston ke — Mubarak Azimabadi

dil lagaate hi to kah deti hain aankhein sab kuchh
aise kaamon ke bhi aaghaaz kahin chhupte hain

kuchh is andaaz se sayyaad ne aazaad kiyaa
jo chale chhuT ke qafas se vo giraftaar chale

tiri adaa ki qasam hai tiri adaa ke sivaa
pasand aur kisi ki hamein adaa na hui

tum ko samjhaae 'mubaarak' koi kyunkar afsos
tum to rone lage yaar aur bhi samjhaane se

miri khaak bhi uDegi baa-adab tiri gali mein
tire aastaan se unchaa na miraa ghubaar hogaa

rahne de apni bandagi zaahid
be-mohabbat khudaa nahin miltaa

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

koi saaghar pe saaghar pi rahaa hai koi tishna hai
murattab is tarah aain-e-mai-khaana nahin hotaa

aae kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aae
is ke baa'd aae jo azaab aae
