mahfil mein chaar chaand lagaane ke baavajud — Unknown

log kaanTon se bach ke chalte hain
main ne phulon se zakhm khaae hain

dil TuTne se thoDi si taklif to hui
lekin tamaam umr ko aaraam ho gayaa

duniyaa mein vahi shakhs hai taazim ke qaabil
jis shakhs ne haalaat kaa rukh moD diyaa ho

miri namaaz-e-janaaza paDhi hai ghairon ne
mare the jin ke liye vo rahe vazu karte

ye hamin hain ki tiraa dard chhupaa kar dil mein
kaam duniyaa ke ba-dastur kiye jaate hain

jin ke kirdaar se aati ho sadaaqat ki mahak
un ki tadris se patthar bhi pighal sakte hain

vo chaand hai to aks bhi paani mein aaegaa
kirdaar khud ubhar ke kahaani mein aaegaa

charaag chaand shafaq shaam phuul jhiil sabaa
churaain sab ne hi kuchh kuchh shabaahatein teri

sunaa hai chaand ko uljhaa liyaa hai shaakhon ne
so ab charaagh darichon pe rakh diye jaaein

itni siyaah-raat mein itni si raushni
ye chaand vo nahin miraa mahtaab aur hai

surat na yuun dikhaae unhein baar baar chaand
paidaa kare hasinon mein kuchh e'tibaar chaand

yakka ulaT ke rah gayaa ghoDaa bhaDak gayaa
kaali saDak pe chaand saa chehra chamak gayaa
