gham aur hotaa sun ke gar aate na vo 'vasim' — Waseem Barelvi

ham ye to nahin kahte ki ham tujh se baDe hain
lekin ye bahut hai ki tire saath khaDe hain

tahrir se varna miri kyaa ho nahin saktaa
ik tu hai jo lafzon mein adaa ho nahin saktaa

raat to vaqt ki paaband hai Dhal jaaegi
dekhnaa ye hai charaaghon kaa safar kitnaa hai

bhare makaan kaa bhi apnaa nasha hai kyaa jaane
sharaab-khaane mein raatein guzaarne vaalaa

shartein lagaai jaati nahin dosti ke saath
kiije mujhe qubul miri har kami ke saath

hamaare ghar kaa pataa puchhne se kyaa haasil
udaasiyon ki koi shahriyat nahin hoti

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

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

vo sang-dil angusht-ba-dandaan nazar aave
aisaa koi sadma miri jaan par nahin hotaa

main divaanaa huun sadaa kaa mujhe mat qaid karo
ji nikal jaaegaa zanjir ki jhankaar ke saath

shaamat hai kyaa ki shaikh se koi mile ki vaan
roza vabaal-e-jaan hai sadaa yaa namaaz hai
