Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq
kahan talak kahun saaqi ki la sharab to de
na de sharab dubo kar koi kabab to de
bujhega soz-e-dil ai girya pal men aab to de
digar hai aag men duniya yuun hi azaab to de
guzarne gar ye mire sar se itna aab to de
ki sar pe charkh bhi dikhlai juun habab to de
hazaron tishna jigar kis se hoenge sairab
khuda ke vaste tegh-e-sitam ko aab to de
tumhare matla-e-abru pe ye kahe hai khaal
ki aisa nuqta koi vaqt-e-intikhab to de
dar-e-qubul hai darban na band kar dar-e-yar
dua-e-khair miri hone mustajab to de
khule hai naaz se gulshan men ghuncha-e-nargis
zara dikha to use chashm-e-nim-khvab to de
bala se aap na aaen pe aadmi un ka
tasalli aa ke mujhe vaqt-e-iztirab to de
hua bagule men hai kushtagan-e-zulf ki khaak
ki bad-e-marg bhi malum pech-o-tab to de
bala se kam na ho girye se mera soz-e-jigar
bujha par un ki zara atash-e-itab to de
shahid kijiyo qatil abhi na kar jaldi
thaharne mujh ko tah-e-tegh-e-iztirab to de
shikar-e-basta-e-fitrak ko tire maqdur
hua na ye bhi ki bosa sar-e-rikab to de
dil-e-birishta ko mere na chhodo mai-khvaro
jo lazzat us men hai aisa maza kabab to de
nashe men hosh kise jo gine hisab kare
jo tujh ko dena hain bose bila hisab to de
javab-e-nama nahin gar to rakh do nama-e-yar
jo puchhen qabr men ashiq se kuchh javab to de
rakhe hai hausla dariya kab ahl-e-himmat ka
nahin ye itna ki bhar kasa-e-habab to de
kahan bujhi hai tah-e-khak meri atish-e-dil
kaho hava se hila daman-e-sahab to de
khunuk dilon ki agar ah-e-sard dozakh men
pade to vaqai ik baar aag daab to de
karega qatl vo ai ‘zauq’ tujh ko surme se
nigah ki tegh ko hone siyah-tab to de
pahunch rahunga sar-e-manzil-e-fana ai ‘zauq’
misal-e-naqsh-e-qadam karne pa-turab to de
