gae mausam kaa ik piilaa saa pattaa shaakh par rah kar — Nazim Barelvi

apne andaaz-e-takallum ko badal de varna
meraa lahja bhi tire saath badal saktaa hai

shaaeri to vaardaat-e-qalb ki rudaad hai
qaafiya-paimaai ko main shaaeri kaise kahun

apni anaa ki aaj bhi taskin ham ne ki
ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin ham ne ki

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

ham ne ye maanaa ki paidaa ho gayaa khaaegaa kyaa
ghar mein daane hi na paaegaa to bhunvaaegaa kyaa

log kahte hain dil lagaanaa jise
rog vo bhi lagaa ke dekh liyaa

nashtar-e-'mir' hain tiri baatein
phuljhaDi-vuljhaDi nahin jaanaan

hashr tak be-gunahi naaz karegi mujh par
vo miraa teri nigaahon mein buraa ho jaanaa
