mujhe dhokaa huaa ki jaadu hai — Syed Aabid Ali Aabid

unhin ko arz-e-vafaa kaa thaa ishtiyaaq bahut
unhin ko arz-e-vafaa naa-gavaar guzri hai

gham ke taarik ufuq par 'aabid'
kuchh sitaare sar-e-mizhgaan guzre

shara-o-aain ki taazir ke baa-vasf shabaab
lab-o-rukhsaar ki jaanib nigaraan hai ki jo thaa

subu uThaa ki ye naazuk maqaam hai saaqi
na ahrman hai na yazdaan hai dekhiye kyaa ho

ik din us ne nain milaa ke sharmaa ke mukh moDaa thaa
tab se sundar sundar sapne man ko ghere phirte hain

meraa jiinaa hai sej kaanTon ki
un ke marne kaa naam taaj-mahal

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

yaar main itnaa bhukaa huun
dhokaa bhi khaa letaa huun

ek parda saa hai fareb-e-nazar
ye bhi uTThe to dekhnaa kyaa hai

is qadar musalsal thiin shiddatein judaai ki
aaj pahli baar us se main ne bevafaai ki

ye bhi fareb se hain kuchh dard aashiqi ke
ham mar ke kyaa kareinge kyaa kar liyaa hai ji ke
