bashar aamaal kar achchhe tire aqbaa mein kaam aaein — Unknown

mehndi mire lahu ki mubaarak ho aap ko
rang-e-hinaa hai is mein aur bu-e-vafaa bhi hai

ye bhi to ik dalil hai us ke vajud ki
jab tak na maaniye use dil maantaa nahin

zaahid sharaab piine de masjid mein baiTh kar
yaa vo jagah bataa de jahaan par khudaa na ho

na khudaa hi milaa na visaal-e-sanam na idhar ke hue na udhar ke hue
rahe dil mein hamaare ye ranj-o-alam na idhar ke hue na udhar ke hue

kabhi teraa dar kabhi dar-ba-dar kabhi 'arsh par kabhi farsh par
gham-e-'aashiqi tiraa shukriya main kahaan kahaan se guzar gayaa

mahfil mein chaar chaand lagaane ke baavajud
jab tak na aap aae ujaalaa na ho sakaa

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

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

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

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

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

ret par ik nishaan hai shaayad
ye hamaaraa makaan hai shaayad
