rangon mein teraa aks Dhalaa tu na Dhal saki — Sahir Ludhianvi

main jise pyaar kaa andaaz samajh baiThaa huun
vo tabassum vo takallum tiri aadat hi na ho

ham jurm-e-mohabbat ki sazaa paaeinge tanhaa
jo tujh se hui ho vo khataa saath liye jaa

ham amn chaahte hain magar zulm ke khilaaf
gar jang laazmi hai to phir jang hi sahi

hazaar barq gire laakh aandhiyaan uTThein
vo phuul khil ke raheinge jo khilne vaale hain

kaun rotaa hai kisi aur ki khaatir ai dost
sab ko apni hi kisi baat pe ronaa aayaa

le de ke apne paas faqat ik nazar to hai
kyuun dekhein zindagi ko kisi ki nazar se ham

jhaankte raat ke garebaan se
ham ne sau aaftaab dekhe hain

shor din ko nahin sone detaa
shab ko sannaaTaa jagaa detaa hai

raushni ho rahi hai kuchh mahsus
kyaa shab aakhir tamaam ko pahunchi

aadhi se ziyaada shab-e-gham kaaT chukaa huun
ab bhi agar aa jaao to ye raat baDi hai

us ko aanaa thaa ki vo mujh ko bulaataa thaa kahin
raat bhar baarish thi us kaa raat bhar paighaam thaa

divaangi meri ke tahayyur mein shab-o-roz
hai halqa-e-zanjir se zindaan hama-tan-chashm
