ab ik rumaal mere saath kaa hai — Syed Zameer Jafri

aadmi se suluk duniyaa kaa
jaise anDaa talaa kare koi

doctor bhi ho gae enginēr bhi ho gae
gandumi hai rang agar to dusre darje ke hain

dilon kaa farsh bichhaa hai jidhar nigaah karo
tumhaaraa ghar bhi dilon kaa kabaaD-khaana hai

yuun kaanptaa hai shaikh khayaal-e-sharaab se
jaise kabhi ye Duub gayaa thaa sharaab mein

miyaan 'gul-sher' tum bhi to havaa ke rukh ko pahchaano
jahaan saaDi chali jaati hai phulkaari nahin jaati

dard mein lazzat bahut ashkon mein raanaai bahut
ai gham-e-hasti hamein duniyaa pasand aai bahut

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad

ghulaami mein na kaam aati hain shamshirein na tadbirein
jo ho zauq-e-yaqin paidaa to kaT jaati hain zanjirein

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

kaho kyaa mehrbaan naa-mehrbaan taqdir hoti hai
kahaa maan ki duaaon mein baDi taasir hoti hai
