Dekha Nahi Wo Chaand Sa Chehra Kayi Din Se;
Tareek Nazar Aati Hai Duniya Kayi Din Se!
Tum Ko Ye Hai Agar Yaqeen Dil Mein Wo Jalwa-Gar Nahi,
Dhoondha Karo Tamam Umar Milne Ka Umar-Bhar Nahi;
Aaye Na Aaye Be-Khabar Kya Tujhe Ye Khabar Nahi,
Saans Ka Aitbar Kya Shaam Hai To Sahar Nahi!
Ab Aur Der Na Kar Hashr Barpa Karne Mein;
Meri Nazar Tere Deedar Ko Tarasti Hai!
Wo Afsana Jise Anjam Tak Laana Na Ho Mumkin;
Use Ik Khoobsurat Mod De Kar Chhodna Achha!
Khansi Aur Hichki Ka Farq Gair Vaazeh Hota Hai;
Awaam Ke Masihaaon Aur Khuda Ke Vakeelon Ko Muakkil Aur Dastaane Nahi Milte!
Kachhe Makaan Jitne The Barish Mein Beh Gaye;
Varna Jo Mera Dukh Tha Vo Dukh Umar Bhar Ka Tha!
Aaj Van Teg-o-Kafan Bandhe Hue Jata Hun Main;
Uzr Mera Qatal Karne Mein Wo Ab Lavenge Kya!
*Teg-o-Kafan: Sword and Shroud
Un Ki Nazar Ke Saath Hi Saara Zamana Phir Gaya,
Gardish-e-Chashm-e-Naaz Hai Gardish-e-Rozgar Kya;
Bad-e-Khizan Ki Mauj Thi Ghuncha-e-Dil Ke Haq Mein Sam,
Mausam-e-Gul Ki Bhi Hawa Hogi Na Sazgar Kya!
* Gardish-e-Chashm-e-Naaz: Movement eyes of coquetry
* Sazgar: Agreeable, favourable,
Jab Tere Nain Muskurate Hain;
Zeest Ke Ranj Bhool Jate Hain!
Barsaat Tham Chuki Hai Magar Har Shajar Ke Paas;
Itna To Hai Ki Aap Ka Daman Bhigo Sake!
