Meer Mehdi Majrooh
is ke jo jo ki favaed hain khud dekhte jaao
sach kaha hai ye kisi ne ki piyo aur pilao
zabt sarkar men hone ke liye chhod na jaao
khuub hi khaao zar-o-mal ko aur khuub udaao
tum men aur ghair men jo shab ko hui hai sohbat
khud kahe deta hai vo aap ki ankhon ka jhukao
baithne ke nahin qabil ye sara-e-viran
yaan se toshe ke uthane ke evaz naav uthao
main huun makhmur mujhe taab kahan haan saaqi
saaf ho durd ho jaldi se jo mil jaae to laao
nahin bimar ko taklif zyada dete
apni ankhon ko mire samne itna na jhukao
dil men aa baithiye aur sair-e-do-alam kiije
hai bahut duur ka us manzil-e-viran se dikhao
munh se gar baat nikal jaae to aafat aa jaae
jo kahin chupke sune jaao zaban ko na hilao
main kahan aur kahan raat ka aana par haan
tere ghar se to bahut ghair ke ghar ka hai lagao
ukhde jaate hain qadam dekh vahan ki rangat
apna is dar pe hua hai na kabhi hoga jamav
dil ki abadi ki ab fikr hai bilkul nahaq
ab to yaan rose hi hota hai sipah-e-gham ka padav
baad ik umr ke gar arz-e-tamanna kiije
vo bigad kar yahi kahte hain ki baten na banao
garche ye jhuut fasana hai vale hai dilchasp
kahte hain apni kahani mujhe tum rose sunao
huun agar us ke evaz nim-nigah ka khvahan
hans ke kahte hain ki kuchh qimat-e-dil aur ghatao
avval-e-ishq hai dil kab hai samajhne vaala
abhi zoron pe hai is bahr par aafat ka chadhao
haal bhi kahte agar hosh thikane hote
yaan to hairat hai ki tum aur mujhe puchhne aao
dam nikalne ka alam kis se saha jaata hai
harf tum jaane ka ai jaan zaban hi pe na laao
un ko to pas-e-mohabbat nahin aslan lekin
nibh sake tum se agar hazrat-e-dil aur nibhao
zakhm-e-hijran ki nahin aur to duniya men dava
mundamil vasl ke marham se to hota hai ye ghaav
kab use dida-e-tar dava-e-ham-chashmi hai
aath aath aansu na tum abr-e-bahari ko rulao
un ke aane ke tasavvur men yahi kahta huun
ai shab-e-vaada na ho subh vo karte hain banav
vaan khapat hi nahin kya jins-e-vafa le jaaen
un ki sarkar men ik jaur-o-sitam ka hai banav
ab ho ‘majruh’ mohabbat se bahut ghabrate
ham to pahle hi ye kahte the ki dil ko na lagao
