kabhu jo shaikh dikhaaun main apne but ke taiin — 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

miri tamannaa hai ab ke tum phir milo to ji bhar ke muskuraaein
ki dekhnaa hai ye raushni kaa safar bahut der baa'd jaa kar

marte hain aarzu mein marne ki
maut aati hai par nahin aati

kabhi khauf thaa tire hijr kaa kabhi aarzu ke zavaal kaa
rahaa hijr-o-vasl ke darmiyaan tujhe kho sakaa na main paa sakaa

ab zindagi se koi bhi shikva nahin mujhe
tu mil gayaa to koi tamanna nahin mujhe

lauT kar aae vo viraana-e-hasti dekhe
jis ki khvaahish thi ki barbaad kiyaa jaae mujhe

chhup nahin sakti chhupaane se mohabbat ki nazar
paD hi jaati hai rukh-e-yaar pe hasrat ki nazar
