Firaq Gorakhpuri
kuchh ishare the jinhen duniya samajh baithe the ham
us nigah-e-ashna ko kya samajh baithe the ham
rafta rafta ghair apni hi nazar men ho gae
vah-ri ghaflat tujhe apna samajh baithe the ham
hosh ki taufiq bhi kab ahl-e-dil ko ho saki
ishq men apne ko divana samajh baithe the ham
parda-e-azurdagi men thi vo jan-e-iltifat
jis ada ko ranjish-e-beja samajh baithe the ham
kya kahen ulfat men raz-e-be-hisi kyunkar khula
har nazar ko teri dard-afza samajh baithe the ham
be-niyazi ko tiri paaya sarasar soz o dard
tujh ko ik duniya se begana samajh baithe the ham
inqalab-e-pai-ba-pai har gardish o har daur men
is zamin o asman ko kya samajh baithe the ham
bhuul baithi vo nigah-e-naz ahd-e-dosti
us ko bhi apni tabiat ka samajh baithe the ham
saaf alag ham ko junun-e-ashqi ne kar diya
khud ko tere dard ka parda samajh baithe the ham
kaan bajte hain mohabbat ke sukut-e-naz ko
dastan ka khatm ho jaana samajh baithe the ham
baton baton men payam-e-marg bhi aa hi gaya
un nigahon ko hayat-afza samajh baithe the ham
ab nahin tab-e-sipas-e-husn is dil ko jise
be-qrar-e-shikva-e-beja samajh baithe the ham
ek duniya dard ki tasvir nikli ishq ko
koh-kan aur qais ka qissa samajh baithe the ham
rafta rafta ishq manus-e-jahan hota chala
khud ko tere hijr men tanha samajh baithe the ham
husn ko ik husn hi samjhe nahin aur ai ‘firaq’
mehrban na-mehrban kya kya samajh baithe the ham
