fidaa kar jaan agar jaani yahi hai — Siraj Aurangabadi

tahqiq ki nazar siin aakhir kuun ham ne dekhaa
akasr hain maal vaale kam hain kamaal vaale

masjid abru mein teri mardumuk hai jiyun imaam
mu-e-mizhgaan muqtadi ho mil ke karte hain namaaz

vaqt hai ab namaaz-e-maghrib kaa
chaand rukh lab shafaq hai gesu shaam

jiinaa taDap taDap kar marnaa sisak sisak kar
fariyaad ek ji hai kyaa kyaa kharaabiyon mein

vo ajab ghaDi thi main jis ghaDi liyaa dars nuskha-e-ishq kaa
ki kitaab aql ki taaq par juun dhari thi tyuun hi dhari rahi

roza-daaraan-e-judaai kuun kham-e-abru-e-yaar
maah-e-id-e-ramazaan thaa mujhe maalum na thaa

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

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

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