ham gadaa-e-dar-e-mai-khaana hain ai pir-e-mughaan — Sahir Dehlavi

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

gham-e-maujud ghalat aur gham-e-fardaa baatil
raahat ik khvaab hai jis ki koi taabir nahin

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

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

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
