Akhtar Shirani
agar vo apne hasin chehre ko bhuul kar be-naqab kar de
to zarre ko mahtab aur mahtab ko aftab kar de
tiri mohabbat ki vadiyon men miri javani se duur kya hai
jo saada paani ko ik nashili nazar men rangin sharab kar de
harim-e-ishrat men sone vaale shamim-e-gesu ki mastiyon se
miri javani ki saada raton ko ab to sarshar khvab kar de
maze vo paae hain aarzu men ki dil ki ye aarzu hai yarab
tamam duniya ki arzuen mire liye intikhab kar de
nazar na aane pe hai ye halat ki jang hai shaikh-o-barahman men
khabar nahin kya se kya ho duniya jo khud ko vo be-naqab kar de
mire gunahon ki shorishen is liye ziyada rahi hain yarab
ki in ki gustakhiyon se tu apne afv ko be-hisab kar de
khuda na laae vo din ki teri sunahri nindon men farq aae
mujhe to yuun apne hijr men umr bhar ko bezar-e-khvab kar de
main jan-o-dil se tasavvur-e-husn-e-dost ki mastiyon ke qurban
jo ik nazar men kisi ke be-kaif ansuon ko sharab kar de
urus-e-fitrat ka ek khoya hua tabassum hai jis ko ‘akhtar’
kahin vo chahe sharab kar de kahin vo chahe shabab kar de
