Auj-E-Maqam-E-Dost Pe Apna Guzar Kahan

Tilok Chand Mahroom

auj-e-maqam-e-dost pe apna guzar kahan

shayan-e-sidrah ta.ir-e-be-bal-o-par kahan

tu hai ḳhayal men to hai ara.ish-e-ḳhayal

tu hi na ho nazar men to zauq-e-nazar kahan

dekho jise vo mast-e-mai-e-kibr-o-naz hai

duniya bahut ḳharab hai jaa.en magar kahan

hai ibtida-e-sham se zulmat ka safar

hoti hai dekhiye shab-e-gham ki sahar kahan

taqdir men hai us ki fishar-e-lahad vahi

tadbir se uḌa bhi to pahuncha bashar kahan

is be-ḳhudi men kis ko hai parva ma.aal ki

maujud mubtada hi na ho to ḳhabar kahan

‘mahrum’ kya hi ḳhuub hai ‘hali’ ki vo ghazal

tujh se jahan men laakh sahi tu magar kahan
