khudaa kare ki ye din baar baar aataa rahe — 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

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

nahin nahin main bahut khush rahaa huun tere baghair
yaqin kar ki ye haalat abhi abhi hui hai

ye do-dili mein rahaa ghar na ghaaT kaa 'anjum'
buton ko kar na sakaa khush khudaa ko paa na sakaa

rang ho raushni ho yaa khushbu
sab mein partav usi hasin ke hain

jaane kyaa kah rahaa thaa vo mujh se
main ne bhi kah diyaa ki khush huun main

tum se Takraae to huaa maa'lum
haadse khushnumaa bhi hote hain
