baaton mein lagaae hi mujhe rakhtaa hai zaalim — Mushafi Ghulam Hamdani

qaatil tiri gali bhi badaun se kam nahin
jis ke qadam qadam pe mazaar-e-shahid hai

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

yuun hai Dalak badan ki us pairahan ki tah mein
surkhi badan ki jaise chhalke badan ki tah mein

lailaa chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se
naaqa machal ke najd ki manzil mein rah gayaa

jangal mein Tesu phulaa aur baagh mein shagufa
fasl-e-bahaar aai mausam gayaa khizaan kaa

jitnaa ki ye duniyaa mein hamein khvaar rakhe hai
itne to gunahgaar zamaane ke nahin ham

aankhon mein meri subh-e-qayaamat gai jhamak
siine se us pari ke jo parda ulaT gayaa

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

haan dikhaa de ai tasavvur phir vo subh o shaam tu
dauD pichhe ki taraf ai gardish-e-ayyaam tu

har subh nikalte hain yahi soch ke ghar se
bikhri hui duniyaa ko sameTeinge kisi din

shaam bhi hai subh bhi hai aur din bhi raat bhi
maah-e-taabaan ab bhi hai mahr-e-darakhshaan ab bhi hai
