ayaan 'alim' se hai jism-o-jaan kaa ilhaaq — Sahir Dehlavi

ahd-e-misaaq kaa laazim hai adab ai vaaiz
hai ye paimaan-e-vafaa rishta-e-zunnaar na toD

qulzum-e-fikr mein hai kashti-e-imaan saalim
naa-khudaa husn hai aur ishq hai langar apnaa

mil-milaa ke donon ne dil ko kar diyaa barbaad
husn ne kiyaa be-khud ishq ne kiyaa aazaad

jo laa-mazhab ho us ko millat-o-mashrab se kyaa matlab
miraa mashrab hai rindi rind ko mazhab se kyaa matlab

aate hue is tan mein na jaate hue tan se
hai jaan-e-makin ko na lagaavaT na rukaavaT

qadam hai ain hudus aur hudus ain qadam
jo tu na jalve mein aataa to main kahaan hotaa

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

kyon tasavvur mein ji rahaa huun main
jab haqiqat mein mar hi jaanaa hai

na jaane us ne khule aasmaan mein kyaa dekhaa
parinda phir se jahaan-e-qafas mein lauT aayaa

ijz-o-niyaaz apnaa apni taraf hai saaraa
is musht-e-khaak ko ham masjud jaante hain

jo bhi buraa bhalaa hai allaah jaantaa hai
bande ke dil mein kyaa hai allaah jaantaa hai

koi dariyaa ki taraf jaane ko tayyaar nahin
haath sab ke hain magar koi 'alam-daar nahin
