muvaafaqat kare kyuun mai-kashon sati zaahid — 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

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

mujh tak kab un ki bazm mein aataa thaa daur-e-jaam
saaqi ne kuchh milaa na diyaa ho sharaab mein

ham pe guzraa hai vo bhi vaqt 'khumaar'
jab shanaasaa bhi ajnabi se mile

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun
