bolin begam maut ke panje mein shauhar aaegaa — Popular Meeruthi

dastakhat to tumhein bhi aate hain
abbaa tum bhi vazir ban jaate

khud tiis kaa hai aur dulhan saaTh baras ki
girti hui divaar ke saae mein khaDaa hai

be-vaqufi ke anokhe kaarnaame dekh kar
achchhe-khaase leaderon ko bhi gadhaa kahnaa paDaa

apni shohrat ki alag raah nikaali ham ne
kisi divaan se ghazal koi churaa li ham ne

teraa aadhaa kaam khud insaan hi karne lage
kaam teraa ab to ai shaitaan aadhaa rah gayaa

meraa sasuraal mein koi bhi taraf-daar nahin
un ke honTon pe bhi taale hain khudaa khair kare

umr-bhar jis ke liye aankhein rahi hain farsh-e-raah
vo ajal kaa qaasid-e-farkhanda-gaam aa hi gayaa

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

bichhaDnaa bhi tumhaaraa jite-ji ki maut hai goyaa
use kyaa khaak lutf-e-zindagi jis se judaa tum ho

allaah re zauq-e-dasht-navardi ki baad-e-marg
hilte hain khud-ba-khud mire andar kafan ke paanv

udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain
ye motiyon ki tarah sipiyon mein palte hain

kisi ke ek ishaare mein kis ko kyaa na milaa
bashar ko ziist mili maut ko bahaana milaa
