har ik shikast-e-tamannaa pe muskuraate hain — Raaz Muradabadi

vo kyaa chhuTe hayaat ke 'unvaan badal gae
duniyaa samajh rahi hai abhi ji rahaa huun main

dil ki be-kaifiyon ko kyaa kiije
fasl-e-gul hai magar bahaar nahin

khud kiyaa tark-e-ta'alluq ham se
khud hi ranjur hue jaate hain

allah-re iltifaat-o-nadaamat ki saazishein
nazrein milin talaafi-e-maafaat ho gai

rukte nahin hain paa-e-jihat-aashnaa kahin
manzil bhi ek sang-e-nishaan rah-guzar mein hai

miri samt manzil ko baDhte jo dekhaa
miraa saath chhoDaa mire rahnumaa ne

zaahid tiraa to diin saraasar fareb hai
rishte se tere subha ke zunnaar hi bhalaa

kisi kaa yuun to huaa kaun umr bhar phir bhi
ye husn o ishq to dhokaa hai sab magar phir bhi

ho hari shaakh-e-tamannaa yaa na ho
sinch denaa chashm-e-tar kaa kaam hai

bevafaa tum hue ki tark-e-mohabbat main ne
ishq-baazi miraa sheva thaa miri zaat na thi

'aarif'-husain dhokaa sahi apni zindagi
is zindagi ke baa'd ki haalat bhi hai fareb

jin kaa maqsad fareb hotaa hai
vo baDi saadgi se milte hain
