jite-ji qadr bashar ki nahin hoti saahab — Munawar Khan Ghafil

sitaare gum hue khurshid niklaa
araq jab yaar ne ponchhaa jabin se

apne majnun ki zaraa dekh to be-parvaai
pairahan chaak hai aur fikr silaane ki nahin

kucha-e-jaanaan mein yaaro kaun suntaa hai miri
mujh se vaan phirte hain laakhon daad aur be-daad mein

kaun dariyaa-e-mohabbat se utar saktaa hai paar
kashti-e-farhaad aakhir koh se Takraa gai

baad marne ke miri qabr pe aayaa 'ghaafil'
yaad aai mire iisaa ko davaa mere baad

vasl mein bhi nahin majaal-e-sukhan
is rasaai pe naa-rasaa hain ham

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

sab ko ham bhuul gae josh-e-junun mein lekin
ik tiri yaad thi aisi jo bhulaai na gai

ye ilm kaa saudaa ye risaale ye kitaabein
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain

aataa rahaa huun yaad main us ko tamaam umr
is zaaviye se ishq mein naakaam kab huaa

vo jo ham mein tum mein qaraar thaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
vahi yaani vaada nibaah kaa tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho

usi ki tarah mujhe saaraa zamaanaa chaahe
vo miraa hone se zyaada mujhe paanaa chaahe
