hamesha be-dili ki kijiye kyunkar na dildaari — Rasheed Lakhnavi

buton ke dil mein hamaari kuchh ab hui hai jagah
khudaa ne rahm kiyaa varna mar gae hote

sabhon ki aa gai piiri jo tum javaan hue
zamin kaa dil huaa miTTi kham aasmaan hue

siye jaate hain kafan aap ke divaanon ke
taar daaman ke hain TukDe hain garebaanon ke

kabhi madfun hue the jis jagah par kushta-e-abru
abhi tak is zamin se saikDon khanjar nikalte hain

zindagi kahte hain kis ko maut kis kaa naam hai
mehrbaani aap ki naa-meharbaani aap ki

gae the hazrat-e-zaahid to zard thaa chehra
sharaab-khaane se nikle to surkh-ru nikle

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

shab-e-vaada fasil-e-hijr se aage chamaktaa hai tiraa ism-e-sitaara-ju
ki jaise koi paivand-e-ridaa-e-subh aa jaae kisi qindil ki zad mein

na ho ehsaas to saaraa jahaan hai be-his-o-murda
gudaaz-e-dil ho to dukhti ragein milti hain patthar mein
