aaj tak koi na armaan hamaaraa niklaa — Zaheer Dehlvi

bujhaaun kyaa charaagh-e-subh-gaahi
mire ghar shaam honi hai sahar se

chaahat kaa jab mazaa hai ki vo bhi hon be-qaraar
donon taraf ho aag baraabar lagi hui

shirkat gunaah mein bhi rahe kuchh savaab ki
tauba ke saath toDiye botal sharaab ki

kuchh to hote hain mohabbat mein junun ke aasaar
aur kuchh log bhi divaana banaa dete hain

samjheinge na aghyaar ko aghyaar kahaan tak
kab tak vo mohabbat ko mohabbat na kaheinge

ishq kyaa shai hai husn hai kyaa chiiz
kuchh idhar ki hai kuchh udhar ki aag

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

vo na aaegaa hamein maalum thaa is shaam bhi
intizaar us kaa magar kuchh soch kar karte rahe

zamaana mujh se judaa ho gayaa zamaana huaa
rahaa hai ab to bichhaDne ko mujh se tu baaqi

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

tumhein fursat ho duniyaa se to ham se aa ke milnaa
hamaare paas fursat ke sivaa kyaa rah gayaa hai

aasmaan jhaank rahaa hai 'khaalid'
chaand kamre mein mire utraa hai
