kam hui baang-e-jaras bhi yaa-rab — Talib Ali Khaan Aishi

koi is fasl mein divaana huaa hai shaayad
ki havaa haath mein zanjir liye phirti hai

kaun paaband-e-junun fasl-e-bahaaraan mein na thaa
is baras nang-e-javaani thaa jo zindaan mein na thaa

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin

yaad aai hai to phir TuuT ke yaad aai hai
koi guzri hui manzil koi bhuli hui dost
