Jameeluddin Aali
bhaTke hue aali se puchho ghar vapas kab aa.ega
kab ye dar-o-divar sajenge kab ye chaman lahra.ega
suukh chale vo ghunche jin se kya kya phuul ubharne the
ab bhi na un ki pyaas bujhi to ghar jangal ho ja.ega
kam kirnen aisi hain jo ab tak raah usi ki takti hain
ye andhiyara aur raha to phir na ujala aa.ega
samjha hai apne-ap se chhuT kar saara zamana dekh liya
dekhna! apne-ap men aa kar ye kya kya sharma.ega
aisi gyaan aur dhyan ki baten ham jane-pahchanon se
tu aḳhir bhula hi kya tha tujh ko kya yaad aa.ega
kuchh chhoTe chhoTe dukh apne kuchh dukh apne azizon ke
in se hi jivan banta hai so jivan ban ja.ega
chaar baras se begane hain so ham kya begane hain
ruThne vaala jivan-sathi do din men man ja.ega
kis kis raag ke kya kya sur hain kis kis sur ke kya kya raag
sikhe na sikhe gaane vaala be-sikhe bhi ga.ega
‘ali’-ji ab aap chalo tum apne bojh uTha.e
saath bhi de to aḳhir pyare koi kahan tak ja.ega
