muddat se gum huaa dil-e-begaana ai 'siraaj' — Siraj Aurangabadi

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

boltaa huun jo vo bulaataa hai
tan ke pinjre mein us kaa totaa huun

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

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

masjid vahshat mein paDhtaa hai taraavih-e-junun
mushaf husn-e-pari-rukhsaar jis kuun yaad hai

dekhaa hai jis ne yaar ke rukhsaar ki taraf
hargiz na jaave sair kuun gulzaar ki taraf

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

naam-levaa tumhaaraa hai 'tarzi'
aadmi ki tarah milo pyaare
