rakh na aansu se vasl ki ummid — Shaikh Qudratullah Qudrat

chhalakne lage ashk-e-gulgun mizha se
phir aai hai fasl-e-bahaar garebaan

gae vo din ki bahte the paDe naale in aankhon se
sar-e-mizhgaan talak ik ashk ab aataa hai mushkil se

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
