jaan jaane ko hai aur raqs mein parvaana hai — Saghar Khayyami

chehre to jhurriyon se bhare dil javaan hain
din mein hain shaikh raat mein salmaan-khaan hain

ab aap hi bataaein vo kaise nibhaaegaa
jis ko nasib dum nahin vo kyaa hilaae gaa

ek qaidi subh ko phaansi lagaa kar mar gayaa
raat bhar ghazlein sunaain us ko thaanedaar ne

mahngaai ke zamaane mein bachchon ki rel-pel
aisaa na ho kamar tiri mahngaai toD de

hamaare laal ko darkaar hai vahi laDki
ki jis kaa baap police mein ho kam se kam deputy

kitne chehre lage hain chehron par
kyaa haqiqat hai aur siyaasat kyaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

dil-e-tabaah mein aabaad hai zamaane se
ik aisi baat jo khulti hai muskuraane se

kisi laashe pe ye baad-e-sabaa kahti hui guzri
shahid-e-ishq hai is ke lahu ko taaza kahte hain

aain-e-ishq yuun bhi badalnaa thaa ek din
jo baat vasl se thi vo ab guftugu se hai

ba-naam-e-ishq ik ehsaan saa abhi tak hai
vo saada-lauh hamein chaahtaa abhi tak hai
