kyuun dhyaan baTaati hai miraa gardish-e-duniyaa — Siraj Lakhnavi

sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai vaaiz
dekh maathe pe abhi chaand numaayaan hogaa

— Siraj Lakhnavi

na mohtasib ki khushaamad na mai-kade kaa tavaaf
khudi mein mast huun apni bahaar mein gum huun

— Siraj Lakhnavi

qafas bhi bigDi hui shakl hai nasheman ki
ye ghar jo phir se sanvar jaae aashiyaan ho jaae

— Siraj Lakhnavi

har ashk-e-surkh hai daamaan-e-shab mein aag kaa phuul
baghair shama ke bhi jal rahe hain parvaane

— Siraj Lakhnavi

abhi rakkhaa rahne do taaq par yunhi aaftaab kaa aaina
ki abhi to meri nigaah mein vahi meraa maah-e-tamaam hai

— Siraj Lakhnavi

Takraaun kyuun zamaane se kyaa faaeda 'siraaj'
khud apne raaste se haTaa jaa rahaa huun main

— Siraj Lakhnavi
