Ameer Minai
gale men haath the shab us pari se rahen thiin
sahar hui to vo ankhen na vo nigahen thiin
nikal ke chehre pe maidan saaf khat ne kiya
kabhi ye shahr tha aisa ki band rahen thiin
firaq men tire ashiq ko ja ke kal dekha
ki vo to hech tha kuchh ashk the kuchh aahen thiin
bagule ab hain ki ghurbat hai gor-e-shahan par
saron pe chatr jilau men kabhi sipahen thiin
hazaron lot gae kal uthi jo vo chilman
khadang mu-e-mizha barchhiyan nigahen thiin
kiya ye shauq ne andha mujhe na sujha kuchh
vagarna rabt ki us se hazar rahen thiin
ye zoaf hai ki nikalti nahin hain ab dil se
kabhi falak se bhi unchi hamari aahen thiin
jigar men hijr ki kal chubh rahi thiin kuchh fansen
magar jo ghaur se dekha tiri nigahen thiin
pahunch gae sar-e-manzil chale jo chaal nai
unhin men pher tha dekhi hui jo rahen thiin
falak ke daur se duniya badal gai varna
jahan bane hain ye mai-khane khan-qahen thiin
ye zoaf ab hai ki hilna giran hai qadmon ko
subuk-ravi men kabhi in ko dastgahen thiin
mushaere se hasin kyuun na chhin le jaate
rubaiyan miri chu go shubh kulahen thiin
hasin zar ke hain talib ki ab hain gird-e-‘amir’
gharib ham the to ye pyaar tha na chahen thiin
