buraai bhalaai ki surat hui — Pandit Jawahar Nath Saqi

apne junun-kade se nikaltaa hi ab nahin
saaqi jo mai-farosh sar-e-rahguzaar thaa

falak pe chaand sitaare nikalte hain har shab
sitam yahi hai nikaltaa nahin hamaaraa chaand

ham ko bharam ne bahr-e-tavahhum banaa diyaa
dariyaa samajh ke kuud paDe ham saraab mein

vo maah jalva dikhaa kar hamein huaa ru-posh
ye aarzu hai ki nikle kahin dobaaraa chaand

qaalib ko apne chhoD ke maqlub ho gae
kyaa aur koi qalb hai is inqalaab mein

jazba-e-ishq chaahiye suufi
jo hai afsurda ahl-e-haal nahin

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

puuri ho jaati agar koi kahaani hoti
ye mohabbat hai miyaan is mein kasak rahti hai

kisi ke saath milaa huun baDi mohabbat se
kabhi kabhaar jo milte hain achchhe rahte hain

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

pyaar apni jagah par ek shikaayat hai mujhe
tum ne aane mein bahut der ki aane vaale
