Poet
ham hi tanha na tiri chashm ke bimar hue
is maraz men to kai ham se giraftar hue
sina-e-khasta hamare se hai ghirbal ko rashk
navak-e-gham jigar-o-dil se zi-bas paar hue
bikne moti lage bazar men kaudi kaudi
yaad men teri zi-bas chashm-e-guhar-bar hue
roz-e-avval ki tum aa misr-e-mohabbat ke biich
yusuf-e-asr hue raunaq-e-bazar hue
naqd-e-jan-o-dil-o-din de ke liya ham ne tumhen
saikdon ahl-e-havas garche kharidar hue
ghar men le aae tumhen chaah se karne shadi
ki tum is gham-kade men sham-e-shab-tar hue
rukh-e-taban se tumhare ki hai khurshid-misal
dar-o-divar sabhi matla-e-anvar hue
dhundhte tum ko pade phirte the ham shahr-ba-shahr
khvar-o-rusva-e-sar-e-kucha-o-bazar hue
lillahil-hamd ki muddat men tum ai nur-e-nigah
bais-e-raushni-e-dida-e-khun-bar hue
khana-e-chashm men rakhte the shab-o-roz ki tum
qurrat-ul-ain hue rahat-e-didar hue
dekh kar mehr-o-vafa o karam-o-lutf ko ham
jante yuun the ki tum yar-e-vafadar hue
jis men tum hote khushi so hi to ham karte the
par nahin jante kis vaste bezar hue
ab hamen chhod ke yuun zar-o-nizar-o-ghamgin
tum kahin aur hi ja yaan se numudar hue
ye to hargiz hi na thi tum se tavaqqo ham ko
ki sitamgar dil-azar jafa-kar hue
na vo ikhlas-o-mohabbat hai na vo mehr-o-vafa
sheva-e-jaur-o-jafa-o-sitam izhar hue
ya vo altaf-o-karam tha ki sada rahte the
ai gul-andam hamare gae ke haar hue
is men hairan hain ki kya aisi hui hai taqsir
qatl karne ke taiin phirte ho tayar hue
tegh-e-khun-rez-ba-kaf khanjar-e-burran ba-miyan
har ghadi samne aa jaate ho khunkhar hue
phir to kya hai sunte ho utho bismillah
khinch kar tegh ko aao jo sitamgar hue
varna dil khol ke lag jaao gale se pyare
go ki ham qatl hi karne ke saza-var hue
utni hi baat ke kahne men ki ik bosa do
aah ai shokh jo aise hi gunahgar hue
tauba karte hain qasam khate hain sunte ho tum
phir nahin kahne ke aage ko khabar-dar hue
puchhta kya hai tu ‘bedar’ hamara ahval
dam-e-khuban men phir ab aae giraftar hue
