'ghaalib'-e-daanaa se puchho ishq mein paD kar salim — Sardar Saleem

fikr o ehsaas ke tapte hue manzar tak aa
mere lafzon mein utar kar mire andar tak aa

kuchh aisaa ho ki tasviron mein jal jaae tasavvur bhi
mohabbat yaad aaegi to shikve yaad aaeinge

baadshaahat ke maze hain khaaksaari mein 'salim'
ye nazaara yaar ke kuche mein rah ke dekhnaa

nuur ki shaakh se TuuTaa huaa pattaa huun main
vaqt ki dhuup mein maadum huaa jaataa huun

vaqt ke sahraa mein nange paanv Thahre ho 'salim'
dhuup ki shiddat yakaayak baDh na jaae chal paDo

aaj divaane kaa zauq-e-did puuraa ho gayaa
tujh ko dekhaa aur us ke baa'd andhaa ho gayaa

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

aankh nam rukh par udaasi dard bhi dil ke qarib
kyaa mohabbat aa gai hai apni manzil ke qarib

'mir'-o-'ghaalib' bhi rahe ishq mein sarshaar miyaan
ab bhi fankaaron ke jiine kaa sahaaraa hai yahi

bajaT ki kai sakhtiyaan aur bhi hain
''abhi ishq ke imtihaan aur bhi hain''

shaairi jhuuT sahi ishq fasaana hi sahi
zinda rahne ke liye koi bahaana hi sahi
