Aur Khul Ja Ki Maarif Ki Guzargahon Mein

Sirajuddin Zafar

aur khul ja ki ma.arif ki guzargahon men

pech ai zulf-e-siyah-fam abhi baaqi hain

ik subu aur ki lauh-e-dil-e-mai-noshan par

kuchh nuqush-e-sahar-o-sham abhi baaqi hain

Thahar ai bad-e-sahar us gul-e-nau-rasta ke naam

aur bhi shauq ke paigham abhi baaqi hain

ai harifan-e-subu gosh-bar-avaz raho

daman-e-vahi men ilham abhi baaqi hain

tuul khinch ai shab-e-mai-ḳhana ki sab kar-e-siyah

ba-hama lazzat-e-iqdam abhi baaqi hain

aur abhi raunda nahin ai kaf-e-pa-e-tahqiq

dil men sau tarah ke auham abhi baaqi hain

ai sahi qad tiri nisbat se sab unchi qadren

bavajud-e-ravish-e-am abhi baaqi hain

ham men kal ke na sahi ‘hafiz’-o-‘ḳhayyam’ ‘zafar’

aaj ke ‘hafiz’-o-‘ḳhayyam’ abhi baaqi hain
