vaaiz ne mai-kade ko jo dekhaa to jal gayaa — Qalaq Merathi

naala kartaa huun log sunte hain
aap se meraa kuchh kalaam nahin

amn aur tere ahd mein zaalim
kis tarah khaak-e-rahguzar baiThe

har sang mein kaabe ke nihaan ishva-e-but hai
kyaa baani-e-islaam bhi ghaarat-gar-e-din thaa

ham us kuche mein uThne ke liye baiThe hain muddat se
magar kuchh kuchh sahaaraa hai abhi be-dast-o-paai kaa

be-takalluf maqaam-e-ulfat hai
daagh uTThe ki aabla baiThe

tu hai harjaai to apnaa bhi yahi taur sahi
tu nahin aur sahi aur nahin aur sahi

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

aae kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aae
is ke baa'd aae jo azaab aae

zindagi zor hai ravaani kaa
kyaa thamegaa bahaav paani kaa

ye vaqt kaifiyaat se bhartaa nahin kabhi
ye jaam ikhtiyaar nahin kar rahaa huun main

koi puraanaa khat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad
zakhmon par vo lamhe marham hote hain
