dil-e-sad-chaak miraa raah yahaan kab paae — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

ai khizaan bhaag jaa chaman se shitaab
varna fauj-e-bahaar aave hai

kabhu bimaar sun kar vo ayaadat ko to aataa thaa
hamein apne bhale hone se vo aazaar behtar thaa

phaDkun to sar phaTe hai na phaDkun to ji ghaTe
tang is qadar diyaa mujhe sayyaad ne qafas

bul-havas go karein tere lab-e-shirin par hujum
talkh mat ho ki miThaai se magas aati hai

meraa maashuq hai mazon mein bharaa
kabhu miThaa kabhu salonaa hai

sau baar taar taar kiyaa to bhi ab talak
saabit vahi hai dast o garebaan ki dosti

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kitne yaar hain phir bhi 'munir' is aabaadi mein akelaa hai
apne hi gham ke nashshe se apnaa ji bahlaataa hai

khud apne aap se rahtaa hai aadmi naaraaz
udaasiyon ke bhi apne mizaaj hote hain

meri chaadar to chhini thi shaam ki tanhaai mein
be-ridaai ko miri phir de gayaa tashhir kaun
