bujhte hue charaagh farozaan kareinge ham — Wasif Dehlvi

didaar se pahle hi kyaa haal huaa dil kaa
kyaa hogaa jo ulTeinge vo rukh se naqaab aakhir

kitni ghaTaaein aaiin baras kar guzar gaiin
shola hamaare dil kaa bujhaayaa na jaa sakaa

daaman ke daagh ashk-e-nadaamat ne dho diye
lekin ye dil kaa daagh miTaayaa na jaa sakaa

aaj rukhsat ho gayaa duniyaa se ik bimaar-e-gham
dard aisaa dil mein uTThaa jaan le kar hi gayaa

vafur-e-be-khudi mein rakh diyaa sar un ke qadmon par
vo kahte hi rahe 'vaasif' ye mahfil hai ye mahfil hai

qismat ki tirgi ki kahaani na puchhiye
subh-e-vatan bhi shaam-e-gharibaan hai aaj kal
