Khizar Kya Hum To Is Jine Mein Bazi Sab Se Jite Hain

khizar kya ham to is jiine men baazi sab se jiite hain

dam ab ukta gaya allahu-akbar kab se jiite hain

samajh le qasidon ne kuchh to aisi hi khabar di hai

kahen kya tujh se ai naseh ki jis matlab se jiite hain

kisi halat na ham se badh sakegi raat furqat ki

ki ham baazi siyah-bakhti men bhi is shab se jiite hain

dam apna ghut ke kab ka hijr-e-janan men nikal jaata

madad-gari-e-shor-e-naara-e-yarab se jiite hain

ise bavar kar ai gham-khvar kab ke mar gae hote

payam-e-vasl jab se sun liya hai tab se jiite hain

zaban qaabu men hai sunne ko tashbihen sune jaao

nazakat men kahan auraq-e-gul us lab se jiite hain

abas daryaft karte ho sabab is sakht-jani ka

khuda jaane ki ham ai ‘shad’ kis matlab se jiite hain
