Poet
aise pur-nur-o-ziya yaar ke rukhsare hain
jin ke aage mah-o-khurshid bhi do taare hain
koi in ankhon se is sabza-e-khat ko puchhe
ye vo kante hain ki palkon se siva pyare hain
koi sabqat na kabhi khaal se jitne ho bacho
saanp gesu-e-siyah-fam se man haare hain
kyuun kar angiya men na ho surat-e-jauza paida
gore gore tire pistan hain ki mah-pare hain
fasl-e-gul aae kali koi na koi chatke
aaj murghan-e-sahar baagh men chahkare hain
ishq-e-atfal-e-chaman men hain anadil betab
ashiyanon ka ye aalam hai ki gahvare hain
qatl karta hai mujhe kyuun shab-e-furqat khamosh
ai moazzin mad-e-takbir nahin aare hain
ek din parcha lagaenge nakirain zarur
ye farishte nahin akhbar ke harkare hain
khal-e-mushkin ne dil aisa hi jalaya hai ki bas
koelon par bhi ye dhoka hai ki angare hain
khvan-e-neamat se kabhi khat na uthaenge bakhil
maal kha sakti hain taqdir ne munh maare hain
na saza-var-e-hazar huun na mubarak hai safar
mere palle pe na sabit hain na sayyare hain
rang gulzar ka shabnam sa uda jaata hai
ru-ba-ru tere hazari nahin favvare hain
vaah kya yaar ke honton ki main tarif karun
jaan shirin nahin jin se vo shakar-pare hain
khana-e-ishq ke mehman hain ham aur tadur
daagh hain ham ko nasib aur use angare hain
‘bahr’ ayyam-e-judai men na kapde phado
ye samajh lo ki shab-e-vasl ke kaffare hain
