ne but-kada se kaam na matlab haram se thaa — 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

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

urdu mein baat kijiye urdu mein boliye
haq hai zabaan kaa pyaar kaa ras is mein gholiye

jo ghair the vo isi baat par hamaare hue
ki ham se dost bahut be-khabar hamaare hue

ye mere saathi hain pyaare saathi magar inhein bhi nahin gavaaraa
main apni vahshat ke maqbare se nai tamannaa ke khvaab dekhun

tum chitaa in ki jalaao na karo dafn inhein
pyaar ke khat hain ye hindu yaa musalmaan nahin

tiraa visaal baDi chiiz hai magar ai dost
visaal ko miri duniyaa-e-aarzu na banaa
