vaqt-e-rukhsat nishaani jo talab ki to kahaa — 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

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

karnaa hi paDegaa zabt-e-alam piine hi paDeinge ye aansu
fariyaad-o-fughaan se ai naadaan tauhin-e-mohabbat hoti hai

kyaa baDhegaa vo tasavvur ki hadon se aage
subh ko dekh ke yaad aae jise shaam ki baat

khud vo karte hain jise ahd-e-vafaa se taabir
sach to ye hai ki vo dhokaa bhi mujhe yaad nahin

pahlaa patthar yaad hamesha rahtaa hai
dukh se dil aabaad hamesha rahtaa hai

shagufta phuul jo dekhe to 'shauq' yaad aayaa
diye the daagh bhi gulshan ne be-shumaar mujhe
