tiri nigah se gae khul kivaaD chhaati ke — Shaikh Zahuruddin Hatim

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

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

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

dekhun huun tujh ko duur se baiThaa hazaar kos
ainak na chaahiye na yahaan durbin mujhe

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

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe

dil-e-haris hi apnaa na ho sakaa qaane
vagarna tere karam mein to kuchh kami na rahi

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi
