raas aae tum ko mulk-e-ishq ki aab-o-havaa — 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

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

us se yahi kahtaa huun vaajib ehtiraam-e-ishq hai
andar se ye khvaahish hai vo jaisaa kahe vaisaa karun

majnun milaa to puchhtaa thaa dasht-e-‘ishq mein
ab suntaa vaan hai mere fasaane bhi koi kyaa

yaa to khud ko sipurd-e-'ishq na kar
yaa jo hotaa hai phir malaal na puchh

makaan-e-dil se rukhsat ho gayaa 'ishq
udaasi lauT kar tu ghar chali aa
