teraa honaa na maan kar goyaa — Ram Awtar Gupta Muztar

navaazaa hai mujhe patthar se jis ne
use main phuul de kar dekhtaa huun

shaam-e-avadh ne zulf mein gundhe nahin hain phuul
tere baghair subh-e-banaras udaas hai

dil kaa sukun rizq ke hangaame khaa gae
sukh aadmi kaa chand nivaalon ne Das liyaa

duniyaa tere naam se mujh ko pahchaane
ishq mein aisaa rusvaa kar de yaa-allaah

lamha lamha bikhar rahaa huun main
apni takmil kar rahaa huun main

rah-e-qaraar ajab raah-e-be-qaraari hai
ruke hue hain musaafir safar bhi jaari hai

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

aur bhi to hain zamaane mein tumhaare aashiq
ek main hi tumhein kyaa qaabil-e-ilzaam milaa
