shartein lagaai jaati nahin dosti ke saath — 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

usulon par jahaan aanch aae Takraanaa zaruri hai
jo zinda ho to phir zinda nazar aanaa zaruri hai

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

bil-aakhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhi taslim kiyaa
apni zaat se ishq hai sachchaa baaqi sab afsaane hain

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

kaabe ko jaataa kis liye hindostaan se main
kis but mein shahr-e-hind ke shaan-e-khudaa na thi

dekhe na mujhe kyunkar az-chashm-e-hiqaarat-u
vo sarv-e-javaan yaaro man-faakhta-e-piram

khudaa ke haath mein mat saunp saare kaamon ko
badalte vaqt pe kuchh apnaa ikhtiyaar bhi rakh

baat karnaa pyaar ki aasaan se aasaan hai
ishq karnaa karte rahnaa hai kaThin se bhi kaThin
